Intra-Abdominal Abscess Demonstrating an Unusually Large Intra-Abdominal Pattern on an lndium-111 Leukocyte Scan

摘要

lndium-111 WBC imaging of a patient with occult septicemia revealed a large focal pattern of radiopharmaceutical distribution within the abdominal cavity at 24 hours post radiopharmaceutical administration. This finding was felt to represent a large intra-abdominal abscess. A five liter peritoneal abscess was found at surgery. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of an intra-abdominal abscess.
