    Author: Black RR, Fernandez-Ulloa M, ter Penning B, Yellin J.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1988 Dec; 13(12):863-5. PubMed ID: 3246113.
    Abstract:
    Indium-111 WBC imaging of a patient with occult septicemia revealed a large focal pattern of radiopharmaceutical distribution within the abdominal cavity at 24 hours post radiopharmaceutical administration. This finding was felt to represent a large intra-abdominal abscess. A five liter peritoneal abscess was found at surgery. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of an intra-abdominal abscess.
