Visualization of Ocular Melanoma with N-Isopropyl-p-[123I]-Iodoamphetamine

In a patient with ocular melanoma, scintigraphy with N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine [( 123I]IMP) clearly delineated the histologically proven ocular lesion. In a tissue distribution study, using the resected specimen, a significantly high accumulation of the radioactivity was confirmed in tumo...

Summary:In a patient with ocular melanoma, scintigraphy with N-isopropyl-p-[123I]-iodoamphetamine [( 123I]IMP) clearly delineated the histologically proven ocular lesion. In a tissue distribution study, using the resected specimen, a significantly high accumulation of the radioactivity was confirmed in tumor tissue. Thus, [123I]IMP scintigraphy provided specific localization of an ocular melanoma.
