[Renal angiomyolipoma and fever: assessment with isotopic renogram and 67Ga scintigraphy]

A 26 year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis who came to the Emergency Department with high fever, bilious vomit, right hemiabdomen pain and syncope during 2 weeks. Laboratory analyses show hemoglobin 6.7 g/dl, creatinine 1.5 mg/dl and leukocytes 30,000. Abdominal CT is performed because of suspicion of active bleeding in right hemiabdomen, following rupture of right angiomyolipoma, treated by selective arterial embolization. She was referred to the Nuclear Medicine Department to perform a 67Gallium scintigraphy for the detection of infection, and static and dynamic renal scintigraphy for evaluation of the renal morphology and function.
