Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of RBC scintigraphy in the evaluation of possible splenic hemangioma.
Materials and methods: RBC scintigraphy was performed on a patient with an incidental finding of a splenic mass on computed tomographic scanning. Early and delayed planar and SPECT images were obtained.
Results: Delayed images revealed blood pooling of the splenic mass. This finding is similar to the characteristics seen in RBC scintigraphy for hepatic hemangioma.
Conclusion: RBC scintigraphy may be useful in the evaluation of possible splenic hemangioma.
