Scintigraphic imaging of renal angioma.
Renal angiomyolipomas are frequent findings in patients with tuberous sclerosis. They must be localized before a biopsy is done. Radionuclide blood pool scintigraphy is a simple noninvasive procedure for the localization of hemangiomatous tumours. A patient is presented with four renal angiomas shown by this technique.
