Hepatoblastoma Mimicking Hemangioma in Labeled Red Blood Cell Scintigraphy

Although 99mTc red blood cell (RBC) scintigraphy is a very specific method to differentiate a hemangioma from other hepatic masses, several cases of false-positive 99mTc RBC scintigraphy have been previously reported throughout the literature. We report an additional case that presented in a 15-month-old boy with hepatoblastoma showing increased labeled RBC activity mimicking hemangioma.
