Summary This case report demonstrates an hepatic amebic abscess by scintigraphy, utilizing a new radiopharmaceutical designed specifically for that purpose. The abscess is delineated as a positive lesion after twenty four hours. The agent, 131I-labeled bromometronida-zole, may prove to be specific for the diagnosis of these abscesses.
