| Abstract | We present a Tc pertechnetate scintigraphy performed in a 64-year-old woman to investigate a mediastinal cystic mass in search of residual gastric mucosa after gastrectomy. She had a history of esophagectomy and gastric pull-up for esophageal cancer. Postoperative leakage necessitated ablation of the gastric pull-up and reconstruction using part of the colon. Oral realimentation resulted in mediastinal pain and brownish discharge within the trachea, raising the suspicion of residual gastric pouch. SPECT/CT demonstrated increased tracer uptake in the median part of the mediastinal cyst, and a biopsy confirmed the presence gastric mucosa. | |
