Platelet sequestration in widespread pulmonary hemangiolymphangiectasia. Demonstration by indium-111 labeled platelets.
A thrombocytopenic patient with pulmonary hemangiolymphangiectasia proven by biopsy, was studied for platelet sequestration with In-111-labeled autologous platelets. The 24-hour scan showed diffuse increased uptake throughout both lung fields, indicating platelet sequestration by the diffuse pulmonary hemangiolymphangiectasia.
