Incidental detection of gallium-67 citrate in a urinoma following a right pyeloplasty: a case report

Creators

  • 1. William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, MI

Description

An abnormal accumulation of radionuclide was identified within the right juxtadiaphragmatic and juxtahepatic spaces during gallium-67 citrate scintigraphy in a post-pyeloplasty patient. Its mode of presentation, the recent pyeloplasty and the known biologic distribution of gallium suggested that it represented gallium-67 concentration within a postoperatively created urinoma. Diagnosis was confirmed by excretory urography and laparotomy
