[Elektronische Daten] [Francesco Galletti, Giovanni Cammaroto, Bruno Galletti, Natale Quartuccio, Francesca Di Mauro, Sergio Baldari] We report two cases of malignant external otitis (MEO) evaluated with Technetium-99m(99mTc)-labelled sulesomab. Two patients affected by MEO are presented, together with a literature review. Both patients were studied with clinical examination, ear discharge culture, radiological imaging, blood exams, 99mTc Sulesomab, and treated with antibiotic therapy. 99mTc-Sulesomab would appear to be an useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up of MEO, highlighting the site and extension of the inflammatory process, and evaluating course and treatment efficacy. 99mTc-Sulesomab shows promise as a rapid, effective and safe imaging agent for treatment response evaluation and follow-up of patients with MEO. Further studies are warranted to validate the inclusion of 99mTc-Sulesomab scan in the imaging follow-up of patients with MEO.
