The parent of a 3-y-old boy brought him to King Saud Medical City because he had left scrotal swelling that had begun 1 y previously. 99mTc-sulfur colloid (SC) imaging has superior sensitivity and specificity in targeting the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, in that these are the only organs that 99mTc-SC can visualize. Furthermore, if these tissues appear anywhere other than their usual locations, such as in the case of an accessory spleen, 99mTc-SC imaging can identify them even without biopsy or{\textemdash}in the case of splenogonadal fusion{\textemdash}orchiectomy. In the current case, the patient underwent laparoscopy, the masses were removed, and orchiectomy was avoided. Histopathologic examination confirmed normal splenic tissue, matching the imaging results.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/50/1/75}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/50/1/75.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
