Abstract
A 9-year-old uremic girl who showed intense parotid uptake when scanned with gallium-67-citrate is discussed. None of the more frequently described predisposing factors was present. A review of 22 other children scanned for suspected inflammatory disease revealed minimal parotid and lacrimal activity in three, with lacrimal activity only in another four. It is suggested that a metabolic cause be considered when there is abnormal parotid activity with Ga-67 scintigraphy.
