Abstract
Primary splenic tumors are very rare. The authors present a case of splenic hamartoma in which positive99mTc-DTPA-HSA uptake was recognized with ultrasound, CT, MR and angiographic images. This case showed the need to consider hamartoma as well as hemangioma in the differential diagnosis of99mTc-DTPA-HSA uptake in splenic tumors.
