She did not have symptom of abdominal pain. Culture of ascites showed Klebsiella pneumoniae. Abdominal utrasonography was negative. Whole-body gallium-67 imaging showed a segmental uptake mimicking bowels in right abdomen. SPECT/CT revealed the uptake in a soft tissue density beneath the abdominal wall instead of bowels. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a low-density mass with peripheral enhancement at the aforementioned area. Her clinical condition stabilized gradually after CT-guided percutaneous drainage of pus from the abscess. |
