    Immunohistochemical localization and quantitative expression of somatostatin receptors in normal human spleen and thymus: Implications for the in vivo visualization during somatostatin receptor scintigraphy

    Background: [111In-DTPA-D-Phe1]-octreotide scintigraphy allows the visualization of SRIF receptor (SSR)-expressing tumors, including thymic tumors, and normal tissues. While the spleen is clearly...

    In vivo and in vitro expression of somatostatin receptors in two human thymomas with similar clinical presentation and different histological features

    [111In-DTPA0]octreotide scintigraphy allows the in vivo visualization of several types of SS receptor (SSR)-expressing tumors. Among these, thymomas have been recently detected. Here we report on 2 patients admit...
