Abstract:
A 59-year-old man with essential thrombocytosis was examined for abdominal pain. Splenic infarction was diagnosed on a computed tomographic scan. The Tc-99m heat-denatured RBC scan showed viable splenic tissue that was not evident on the computed tomographic scan or Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
