Clin Nucl Med. 1991 Mar;16(3):160-1. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199103000-00004.

Abstract

A 50-year-old woman with Felty's syndrome, who presented with "menopausal" symptoms, was found to have a large pelvic mass on physical exam. Computed tomography of the pelvis led to an incorrect diagnosis of malignancy, while radionuclide imaging using Tc-99m sulfur colloid confirmed the diagnosis of ectopic splenomegaly.
