Diagnostic significance of the pancreatic displacement with extrapancreatic oval-shaped low activity area on scintigram.

To aid in the differential diagnosis of upper abdominal tumors, pancreatic scintigraphy was performed in 62 cases. The findings were rather characteristic for pancreatic cysts; namely, pancreatic displacement and, adjacently, an oval-shaped activity area whose count was lower than background. Pancreatic displacement was observed with comparatively large retroperitoneal masses. Low activity areas were observed in cystic lesions. Both findings were noted in 7 (54%) of 13 pancreatic cyst cases. Among the 12 cases with these findings, 7 (58%) had pancreatic cysts.

Scintigraphic detection of hepatic metastases with 131I-labeled steroid in recurrent adrenal carcinoma: case report.

Abdominal scintigraphy using a new 131I-labeled steroid agent was performed on a 40-year-old women proven by surgery to have adrenocortical carcinoma. Considerable accumulations were observed at the sites of liver metastasis. Hepatic scintigraphy and autopsy findings revealed that the accumulation was more marked on the active cancer cells and only slight in the central necrotic tissue. Adrenal scintigraphy is valuable in the study of metastatic hormone-producing adrenal carcinoma.

Renal arteriovenous malformations: CT features.

The CT and clinical features of six patients with congenital renal arteriovenous malformation (RAVM) were reviewed to determine the characteristics of this condition. The most common symptom was hematuria. The CT images were characterized by masses of vascular density located in the renal sinus and surrounding the pelvicaliceal system with or without dilated renal veins. The exact size of the RAVM and the relation to the pelvicaliceal system were well demonstrated by delayed images or drip infusion technique, whereas the bolus injection technique was essential to document the vascular nature. The potential pitfalls in diagnosis that can occur if only an infusion study is performed are discussed.
