SPECT/CT with (99m)Tc labelled heat-denatured erythrocyte to detect thoracic and abdominal splenic tissue

Scintigraphy with (99m)Tc labelled heat-denatured erythrocyte (DRBC) allows non invasive diagnosis of heterotopic splenic tissue implantation (splenosis) following splenic trauma or surgery. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) combined with computed tomography (CT) improves diagnostic...

description Scintigraphy with (99m)Tc labelled heat-denatured erythrocyte (DRBC) allows non invasive diagnosis of heterotopic splenic tissue implantation (splenosis) following splenic trauma or surgery. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) combined with computed tomography (CT) improves diagnostic accuracy of planar imaging through a more precise localization of functional findings. We report about two cases of splenosis occurring many years after splenectomy. (99M)Tc-DCRBC scintigraphy was used for differential diagnosis of metastatic disease in one case and to assess an incidental finding at bone scan in the second one. SPECT/CT increased specificity of planar imaging, expecially revealing combined (thoracic and abdominal) splenosis. (www.actabiomedica.it)
