Demonstration of an infected popliteal (Baker's) cyst with three-phase skeletal scintigraphy.

A case is reported of an infected popliteal (Baker's) cyst demonstrated with triple phase skeletal scintigraphy. Although double-contrast arthrography and ultrasonography are currently the modalities most frequently employed to diagnose the presence of popliteal cysts, they may also be detected utilizing this radionuclide technique in the course of evaluation for knee joint disease or septic arthritis. Radionuclide studies may be more sensitive for the evaluation of associated inflammatory disease involving the knee joint.

Demonstration of a malignant soft-tissue lymphoma during triple-phase skeletal scintigraphy.

Malignant soft-tissue neoplasms may be demonstrated in the course of triple-phase skeletal scintigraphy due to the presence of either abnormal vascularity or calcifications. We report the unusual case of a malignant lymphoma which was detected in the vascular phases of a triple-phase skeletal scintigraphic study but was not visualized utilizing conventional radioangiographic techniques. Lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of soft-tissue neoplasms demonstrable by scintiangiography.

Subcapsular splenic hematoma vs intrasplenic pancreatic pseudocyst.

An intrasplenic pancreatic pseudocyst may mimic a subcapsular splenic hematoma. Misdiagnosis of this entity may have serious consequences. Particular care should be taken when a patient presents with a cystic mass in the region of the spleen and a history of chronic alcohol abuse, regardless of the presence or absence of a history of a traumatic episode. Thin-needle aspiration is the current diagnostic modality of choice. A high fluid amylase level establishes the diagnosis of an intrasplenic pancreatic pseudocyst.
