Ileal leiomyosarcoma and leiomyoma. False-positive scintiscans for Meckel's diverticulum.
Overview
abstract
Two cases of ileal leiomyomatous neoplasms with positive scintigraphic findings for Meckel's diverticulum are presented. The precise mechanism for the abnormal concentration of the Tc-99m pertechnetate is uncertain. Illustrations of the collating barium and computerized tomographic studies are included and the scanning technique utilized is reviewed.
