  • Title: Giant Liver Hemangioma Mimicking a Hydronephrotic Kidney on 99mTc-DTPA Scintigraphy.
    Author: Boey CY, Mohamed Aslum Khan F, Amir Hassan SZ.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2021 Jan; 46(1):88-89. PubMed ID: 33181737.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who underwent Tc-DTPA renal scintigraphy for the evaluation of a right pelviureteric junction calculi, which incidentally showed radiotracer uptake in a giant liver hemangioma. The initial scintigraphic images showed a large lobulated lesion with peripheral uptake of radiotracer at the right abdominal region, resembling a large hydronephrotic kidney. However, the pattern of progression of the radiotracer, coupled with the clinical history and available corresponding radiologic images, confirmed the uptake to be that of a giant liver hemangioma.
