A 39-year-old woman with fever of unknown origin was admitted to our hospital. Whole body scintigrams with 67Ga-citrate showed an abnormal accumulation of radioactivity in the pelvic cavity. Cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary was suspected on the basis of findings obtained by abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Left oophorectomy was performed, and oophoritis was diagnosed. We would like to propose that 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy may be useful for the diagnosis of oophoritis as well as gynecologic malignant tumors.
