Popis:	Gallium-67 citrate was found to localize in the salivary glands of eight patients after therapeutic doses of radiation to a treatment field including the glands. In two patients, autopsy evidence to the effect that no primary disease was present to explain such uptake was obtained. In another two patients the abnormal uptake was not observed on follow-up. The recognition that radiation sialadenitis is a potential cause of false-positive gallium scintiscans is important in their interpretation.
