Hepatoblastoma Mimicking Hemangioma in Labeled Red Blood Cell Scintigraphy

Ayça Arçay et al. Clin Nucl Med. 2019 Mar.

Abstract

Although Tc red blood cell (RBC) scintigraphy is a very specific method to differentiate a hemangioma from other hepatic masses, several cases of false-positive Tc RBC scintigraphy have been previously reported throughout the literature. We report an additional case that presented in a 15-month-old boy with hepatoblastoma showing increased labeled RBC activity mimicking hemangioma.
