Abstract
Forty-three children with intrahepatic masses had 99mTc-S colloid hepatic scintigrams including scintiangiography. Hypervascularity occurred in nearly 1/3 of the masses, but was limited to children with primary liver tumors including hepatomas, hepatoblastomas, hepatic adenomas and cavernous hemangiomas. All metastases, abscesses and hematomas were hypovascular. Routine inclusion of scintiangiography may allow separation of primary hypervascular liver tumors from other hypovascular masses whose static hepatic scintigrams are virtually identical.
