Localization of a bone imaging agent in a calcified hematoma.

A patient with chronic renal failure and secondary hyperparathyroidism had iliac bone biopsy. The procedure was complicated by a soft-tissue hematoma, which had calcified. A 3-4-cm palpable mass was visible in the lower left abdominal wall. Intense uptake of 99mTc-HMDP corresponded with the location of the calcified hematoma in this patient.

Retrograde prolapse of the lleocecal valve.

Retrograde prolapse of the ileocecal valve results when redundant mucosa produces prominent lips of the ileocecal valve. The prominent valve produces a filling defect within the cecum. With manual palpation or hydrostatic pressure of the barium column, this prominent ileocecal valve then prolapses in a retrograde fashion to produce a tapered defect of the terminal ileum. The pliable changing nature of this lesion is characteristic of a benign condition, and this combination of radiographic findings is pathognomonic of this normal variant. Two cases are reported with documentation by surgery and colonoscopy..
