A 46 year-old white male with fever of unknown origin demonstrated a multiloculated hepatic cyst on abdominal CT. Persistent fever and leukocytosis prompted Tc-99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen and gallium-67 citrate imaging to identify a possible liver abscess. SPECT imaging provided pertinent clinical information that allowed the diagnosis of abscess to be made.
