| Abstract |
Tc-99m MDP bone scan was performed to evaluate a generalized bone pain in a 24-year-old
male chronic myelogenous leukemia patient who received bone marrow transplantation at 7 months ago.
The patient had received large amounts of blood transfusion for managing symptoms related to anemia.
Bone scan revealed substantial splenic tracer uptake. Magnetic resonance image and laboratory evidence
of hemochromatosis suggests that the presence of large quantities of iron in the spleen of this patient may
have been responsible for the splenic uptake of the bone scanning agent. The authors report a case of
splenic hemochromatosis incidentally found on Tc-99m MDP bone scan. |
