title: Splenic metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Accumulation of Tc-99m HDP.
abstract: Considerable accumulation of Tc-99m HMDP was noted in a huge splenic mass in a 62-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma. An autopsy revealed a massive hemorrhage within the splenic metastasis. The splenic uptake of the radionuclide corresponded to the marked deposition of hemosiderin.
