OSTI ID:7322973
A case of actinomycosis involving the liver is reported. The liver scan with /sup 99m/TcS colloid showed multiple areas of focal abnormalities. The /sup 67/Ga citrate liver scan showed these areas to concentrate intensely. This pattern of differential hepatic scintigraphy is seen in pyogenic abscesses as well as malignancy of the liver. Actinomycosis may mimic the clinical picture of a malignant neoplastic process, making the differential diagnosis of /sup 67/Ga-positive lesions of the liver more difficult.
