A case is presented in which concentration of Tc-99m-iron ascorbate-DTPA has been demonstrated in a benign leiomyoma of the uterus. Increased vascularity in the tumor might be the cause of the Tc-99m-DTPA uptake.
Abdominal imaging 99mTc-pertechnetate is a most sensitive and noninvasive procedure for detecting Meckels diverticulum. However, false-positive results are unavoidable. We report two in which false-positive results were obtained and present a summary of reported false-positive results.

Oxyphilic adenoma of the parotid gland is a rare benign tumor. In the case presented, increased concentration of 99mTc-pertechnetate was seen in the tumor. The only other neoplasm which is known to consistently concentrate pertechnetate is papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumor).
