N2 - A 65-year-old man was referred to the nuclear medicine department after a finding suggesting hemangioma was observed incidentally. SPECT and planar images of the abdomen using labeled red blood cells did not show any foci of abnormal uptake. Further imaging with sulfur colloid showed uptake in the region of the lesion seen on computed tomography (CT), a finding suggestive of a benign liver lesion, most likely focal nodular hyperplasia.
