Splenic hemangioma. Detection on a technetium-99M MDP bone scan

Summary

Splenic hemangiomas, rare benign spleen tumors, can be incidentally found on bone scans. Technetium-99m MDP accumulation in these tumors may be due to extensive iron deposition.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Splenic hemangiomas are the most common benign splenic tumors.
  • They are typically rare and often asymptomatic.

Observation:

  • A case of a noncalcified splenic hemangioma was incidentally discovered.
  • The hemangioma was identified during a technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan.

Findings:

  • The splenic hemangioma showed uptake of Tc-99m MDP.
  • Iron deposition within the hemangioma is a potential reason for Tc-99m MDP accumulation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a potential imaging finding for splenic hemangiomas on bone scans.
  • Understanding Tc-99m MDP uptake mechanisms in splenic lesions is important for accurate diagnosis.
