  • Title: Diagnosis of splenosis: the advantages of splenic scintiscanning with Tc 99m heat-damaged red blood cells.
    Author: Bidet AC, Dreyfus-Schmidt G, Mas J, Combe J, Milleret P, Bidet R.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1986; 12(7):357-8. PubMed ID: 3792367.
    Abstract:
    We present one case of peritoneal splenosis, which was not confirmed by the splenic scintiscan with 99mTc-sulphur colloid, but whose diagnosis, carried out during a second scintiscan with 99mTc-heat-damaged RBC, was confirmed by laparotomy and histology. This case confirms that, for the diagnosis of splenosis, heat-damaged RBC scintigraphy must be used rather than either sulphur colloid scintigraphy or computed-tomography.
