title: Hepatoma associated with anabolic steroid therapy.
abstract: A patient with Fanconi's anemia who developed a hepatoma after 50 months of therapy with anabolic steroids is reported. The lesion presented as a cold focal defect on a Tc99m sulfur colloid scintigram, but was avascular on dynamic scintigraphy. Both the unusual avascularity of the hepatoma, and its association with anabolic steriod therapy are discussed.
