RESUMO

A 72-year-old woman had insidious onset of heart failure, and was diagnosed as multicentric Castleman's disease. She underwent myocardial imaging with technetium-99m tetrofosmin, 1-123 beta-methyl-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP). Technetium-99m tetrofosmin studies showed almost normal uptake of the left ventricular myocardium indicating normal myocardial perfusion. 1-123 BMIPP showed reduced uptake in the apical segment of the myocardium, indicating regional fatty acid metabolic abnormalities.
