Abstract:
The authors describe a patient with protein-losing enteropathy in whom abnormal intestinal accumulation of tracer occurred during Tc-99m human serum albumin scintigraphy. Abnormal leakage of the radiotracer was observed in the left upper abdomen and was confirmed by Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy. Both Tc-99m HSA scintigraphy and Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy are useful in the detection of protein-losing enteropathy.
