A higher uptake of radiocolloid in a splenic tumor than in the rest of the spleen was observed in a 17-year-old boy. The pathologic diagnosis of the surgically resected tumor was hamartoma composed of anomalous mixtures of splenic elements, and radiocolloid was considered to be distributed to reticuloendothelial cells in the tumor. Radiocolloid scintigraphy, which can demonstrate the function of the reticuloendothelial system, is helpful in the diagnosis of splenic hamartoma.
