  • Title: The widened renal fossa sign on liver-spleen scintigraphy and adrenal disease.
    Author: Moreno AJ, Brown JM, Jackson JH, Turnbull GL, Brown TJ.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1984 Dec; 144(12):2355-6. PubMed ID: 6508443.
    Abstract:
    A widened renal fossa on the posterior view during liver-spleen scintigraphy using technetium Tc 99m sulfur colloid raises the possibility of renal or extrarenal disease. We encountered four patients with prominent renal fossae on liver-spleen scans. They were subsequently found to have lesions involving the right adrenal gland. Potential adrenal disease should be considered in patients whose liver-spleen scans show widened renal fossae.
