Splenic scintigraphy—reloaded: Pulmonary and pleural lesions proven to be splenosis by heat-damaged erythrocyte scintigraphy

We report the case of a 60-year-old patient whose computed tomography revealed multiple pleural foci that were classified as potentially malignant. After revealing traumatic splenectomy in the patient's history, the differential diagnosis of splenosis was considered and a 99m-techentium heat-da...

description We report the case of a 60-year-old patient whose computed tomography revealed multiple pleural foci that were classified as potentially malignant. After revealing traumatic splenectomy in the patient's history, the differential diagnosis of splenosis was considered and a 99m-techentium heat-damaged autologous red blood cells scintigraphy performed. This conventional method can be used to reliably make an exact diagnosis avoiding more expensive or invasive methods.
