Abstract
A case of acute megakaryocytic leukemia in a 13-month-old infant was encountered in whom an abnormal bone scan was associated with abnormal I-131 MIBG uptake in the femoral bone marrow. The normal platelet will take up MIBG and thus, uptake of this radiopharmeceutical by the malignant megakaryocyte, a platelet precursor, may be caused by the same mechanism.Keywords
