Abstract Concordant gallium-67 and thallium-201 uptake has been described in malignant lesions. More recently,201Tl accumulation has been described in some benign conditions. The authors report three HIV-positive patients who underwent67Ga and201Tl scintigraphy. These studies revealed concordant67Ga and201Tl uptake and tumour was erroneously diagnosed. All three patients were finally diagnosed as having tuberculosis.
