SPLENIC HEMANGIOMA - DETECTION ON A TC-99M MDP BONE-SCAN

While relatively rare, the most common benign tumor of the spleen is t he hemangioma. We report a case of a noncalcified splenic hemangioma f ound incidentally on a technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan. Tc-99m MDP may have been accumulated by iron, which wa s deposited extensively within the hemangioma.
