Abstract
We report the case of a 58-year-old male with cholecystocolic fistula and hepatic abscess that were not diagnosed by routine radiologic examinations, but concurrently detected by hepatobiliary scintigraphy with 99mTc-PMT, and confirmed at operation. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is noninvasive and useful in the detection of a biliary enteric fistula and lesions about related organs. Concurrent detection of cholecystocolic fistula and hepatic abscess on hepatobiliary series is of great clinical value in planning surgical intervention.Entities:
