Description
Summary:	This report of an 82-year-old man who presented with a 3-week history of an enlarging left axillary mass and mild fevers, highlights the usefulness of both gallium-67 and F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging in the staging of histiocytic sarcoma. While PET/CT was superior in determining the extent of the disease, gallium can be used to help stage the disease in centers where PET/CT is not available.
