  • Title: Blood-pool scintigraphic diagnosis of fractured lumbar vertebral hemangioma.
    Author: Fujimoto H, Ueda T, Masuda S, Nosaka K.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 2001 Apr; 30(4):223-5. PubMed ID: 11392297.
    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old woman complained of lumbago of 1 year's duration. Radiographs showed a compression fracture of the third lumbar vertebra. CT and MR images revealed an enhancing mass confined to the vertebral body suggestive of a malignant process. A blood-pool scintigram with 99mTc-human serum albumin combined with DTPA (HSA-D) revealed marked accumulation. This strongly suggested a hemangioma, which was confirmed by biopsy.
