Abstract

We present a case of a 65 years-old male with sickle cell mutation and beta-thalassemia (Hb S/β-Thal), who had whole-body bone scan evaluation for osteomyelitis. The examination revealed high radiopharmaceutical uptake in the left abdomen. Further evaluation with hybrid single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) showed calcification of approximately the entire spleen, in the context of sickle cell anemia. This report highlights the role of SPECT/CT in such cases.

混合骨SPECT/CT显示镰状细胞突变和-地中海贫血的脾脏钙化。

我们报告了一例65岁男性镰状细胞突变和β-地中海贫血(Hb S/β-Thal)，他进行了全身骨扫描评估骨髓炎。检查显示左腹部放射性药物摄取高。进一步的单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(SPECT/CT)显示，镰状细胞性贫血患者几乎整个脾脏都有钙化。本报告强调了SPECT/CT在此类病例中的作用。
