Department of Radiology, Numazu City Hospital, Japan.

Considerable accumulation of Tc-99m HMDP was noted in a huge splenic mass in a 62-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma. An autopsy revealed a massive hemorrhage within the splenic metastasis. The splenic uptake of the radionuclide corresponded to the marked deposition of hemosiderin.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
