Pectus excavatum defect on liver-spleen scintigraphy

A 58-year-old man with a pectus excavatum demonstrated a photon-deficient defect within the left lobe of the liver on liver-spleen scintigraphy using Tc-99m SCOL. Computed tomography of the liver clearly revealed the abnormal defect seen on the liver-spleen scan to be due to the pectus excavatum. Th...

Zusammenfassung:	A 58-year-old man with a pectus excavatum demonstrated a photon-deficient defect within the left lobe of the liver on liver-spleen scintigraphy using Tc-99m SCOL. Computed tomography of the liver clearly revealed the abnormal defect seen on the liver-spleen scan to be due to the pectus excavatum. This case confirms the impression that these skeletal aberrations may cause false-positive hepatic defects.
