Abstract
Findings for focal accumulation of 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-R,S-methylpentadecanoic acid ([123I]BMIPP) in a patient with liposarcoma of the thigh are presented. Iodine-123-BMIPP accumulated heterogeneously in the liposarcoma. The region with marked accumulation of [123I]BMIPP was diagnosed as mixoid liposarcoma. The region with little accumulation of [123I]BMIPP was diagnosed as well-differentiated liposarcoma. Differences in the accumulation of [123I]BMIPP may reflect differences in fatty acid metabolism between histopathological types of liposarcoma.
