lndium-111 Leukocyte Scanning: False-negative Study in a Renal Abscess

A 33-year-old man had clinical features of a right renal abscess. Results of excretory urography and ultrasonography showed a focal complex mass lesion in the right kidney. An ln-111 leukocyte scan failed to detect the right renal abscess, which later was aspirated under CT guidance and explored sur...

Description
Summary:A 33-year-old man had clinical features of a right renal abscess. Results of excretory urography and ultrasonography showed a focal complex mass lesion in the right kidney. An ln-111 leukocyte scan failed to detect the right renal abscess, which later was aspirated under CT guidance and explored surgically. The role of ln-111 leukocyte imaging in the detection of intra-abdominal abscesses, with limitations of the procedure, is discussed.
