Giant Cavernous Hemangioma on Tc-99m RBC Scan
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 36-year-old woman with right upper quadrant abdominal pain since three months previously and no other significant medical history was referred for evaluation of an abdominal mass. Upon clinical examination, a large palpable mass in the mid -upper abdominal area was noted. Abdominal ultrasound and spiral CT-scan showed a large hepatic mass in the left liver lobe. The patient was referred for Tc-99m labeled RBC scintigraphy to assess the possibility of presence of liver hemangioma. The radionuclide imaging confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioma which in this case, the huge size of the lesion was of interest.

متن کاملTc-99m-RBC scan in diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma [Persian]
Four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with Tc99m-labeled RBC scan. The scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. Lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method. Tc99m labeled RBC scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.
متن کاملA false negative by planar scintigraphy liver hemangioma, diagnosed by technetium-99m-red blood cells and technetium-99m-sulfur colloid single photon emission tomography scan.
We present a 42-year-old patient who was examined in the Gastroenterology Department of Gaziantep University for chronic abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Ultrasonography showed a 4.7 cm solid hepatic mass on the right lateral side of the right lobe of the liver. The patient was then sent to the Nuclear Medicine Department of Gaziantep University for liver scan. After injecting autologous re...
متن کاملThe role of Tc-99m RBC scintigraphy in the differential diagnosis of orbital cavernous hemangioma.
The cavernous hemangioma is the most common benign orbital tumor in adults. Its presentation is during the forth to fifth decades with a slowly progressive unilateral proptosis. Intraconal cavernous hemangiomas may be difficult to differentiate from other intraconal lesions such as schwannomas, meningiomas and hemangiopericytomas. We report a case of orbital cavernous hemangioma diagnosed by Tc...
متن کاملSymptomatic calvarial cavernous hemangioma: presurgical confirmation by scintigraphy.
Hemangiomas are rare tumors in the calvarium and represent 2% of osseous calvarial lesions. Dynamic Tc-99m RBC blood pool scintigraphy has a high positive predictive value for cavernous hemangiomas of the liver. This scintigraphic technique can be used for identifying cavernous hemangiomas at other anatomic sites. We present a case in which a tagged RBC blood pool scan was used for further char...
