Abstract
A 42-year-old man presented with a slow-growing tumor in his left arm. Three-phase bone scintigraphy suggested a soft tissue tumor with a high degree of vascularization. Intense uptake seen on early images of thallium-201scintigraphy supported the possibility of a malignancy. Increased radioactivity seen in the lesion with Tc-99m red blood cells suggested a hemangioma. Pathologic diagnosis after surgery was intramuscular capillary type hemangioma. In this case, red blood cell imaging was the most specific radionuclide study in the diagnosis of the hemangioma and it should be the first scintigraphic approach when it is suspected.
