Abstract

Unusually increased CT density of the liver parenchyma after administration of cis-diaminedichloro platinum (II) (CDDP) is presented. This patient has neither a history of blood transfusion nor of iron overload. Therefore, CDDP which includes the heavy metal, Platinum, in its molecule was considered to be the only agent responsible for increasing the CT density.
