INTERPRETATION: Technetium sulphur colloid liver scan done 3/6/91
reveals a grossly abnormal configuration to the liver in
both the anterior and lateral projection of the liver,
appearing larger in the lateral projection than it does
in the anterior. There is a central decrease in tracer
localization compatible with a space-occupying lesion.
There is gross irregularity of the liver at the porta
hepatis which is consistent with either space-occupying
lesions of the liver in this area or possibly extrinsic
compression from such things as enlarged lymph nodes.
IMPRESSION: Definitely abnormal liver scan consistent with a central lesion as well as
irregularity along the right lower margin. The possibility of metastatic
disease is high.
