The chest/abdomen/pelvis CT scan with IV contrast (Figure 1A, Figure 1B) showed a nodular mass extending from the medial hepatic contour of the right lobe of the liver, adjacent to the adrenal gland. Fig. 3B shows an axial slice, at approximately the same level as the CT and MRI images shown in Figure 1A, Figure 2A.

An MRI was performed for further characterization (Figure 2A, Figure 2B, Figure 2C). Fig. 3B shows an axial slice, at approximately the same level as the CT and MRI images shown in Figure 1A, Figure 2A.

Then, the labeled RBCs are damaged by heating them in a water bath at 49  C for 20 minutes.) Fig. 3A shows planar images of the abdomen taken in the anterior, posterior, lateral, and oblique projections. The retained splenic tissue is seen as several foci of radiotracer uptake in the left upper abdomen, and is more intense than the liver. There is normal diffuse hepatic uptake. Fig. 3B shows an axial slice, at approximately the same level as the CT and MRI images shown in Figure 1A, Figure 2A.
