Budd-Chiari syndrome complicating hepatocellular carcinoma. Demonstration by multiple radiotracer scintigraphy

Clin Nucl Med. 1986 Feb;11(2):102-7. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198602000-00008.

Abstract

A case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated by the Budd-Chiari syndrome is described. The antemortem diagnosis of both conditions was made with the unique findings of multitracer scintigraphy. The difficulty of diagnosing these two conditions by the conventional approach is reviewed. The advantages of using multitracer scintigraphy for evaluation of hepatic lesions are also discussed.
