Abdominal Scanning with Tc–99m Red Blood Cells False–positive Study Due to Ectopic Kidney

Abdominal scanning with Tc–99m red blood cells performed in a patient with gastrointestinal bleeding demonstrated a localized area of increased activity in the pelvic region that simulated either bleeding in a mass or encapsulated bleeding. Contrast angiography confirmed that the bleeding was due to...
