Tc-99m colloid and Ga-67 imaging of splenic inflammatory pseudotumor - Correlation with ultrasound, CT, and MRI

Splenic inflammatory pseudotumor is extremely rare and may mimic splenic ne oplasms, such as lymphomas or hamartomas, clinically and radiologically. A case of a surgically proved splenic inflammatory pseudotumor is presented I n which Tc-99m colloid SPECT and Ga-67 scintigraphy characterized the chang es in the spleen, hut the findings of ultrasound and unenhanced CT and MRI were nonspecific. This report: indicates the utility of radionuclide imagin g far diagnosing splenic inflammatory pseudotumor.
