Diagnosis of splenic rupture in malignant lymphoma using radionuclides

Journal Article · · Clin. Nucl. Med.; (United States)
The case of a 59-year-old woman with malignant lymphoma who was investigated for fever and left upper quadrant abdominal pain is presented. A combined spleen/lung scan showed marked medial displacement of an enlarged spleen and a gallium scan showed increased splenic uptake consistent with lymphomatous infiltration. The diagnosis of prior splenic rupture with subphrenic hematoma was confirmed at laparotomy.
