Renal metastases shown by 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate scintigram which failed to detect vertebral metastases.
A patient with breast metastases is presented showing increased nodular renal uptake of tracer on bone scintigraphy that also demonstrated rib metastases and a large metastasis in the pelvis. However, vertebral body metastases were not shown when clearly demonstrated on CT with even partial compression on a thoracic spine film. Most of the renal lesions were hypoechoic on sonography, showed hyp...
متن کاملMultiple metastases of soft tissue visualized by technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Lungs and liver are the most common sites of colorectal cancer metastases after regional lymph nodes, but metastases to unusual sites are reported. Heterotopic bone formation in soft tissues from colorectal cancer is a rare metastatic occurrence. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 29-year-old Caucasian man affected by colon adenocarcinoma with multiple soft tissue metasta...
متن کاملLumbosacral Transitional Vertebra Diagnosed on 99mTc-Methylene Diphosphonate SPECT/CT.
Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is a congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction. The association between back pain and LSTV is controversial; however, in our patient the symptoms localized to a hemisacralized left transverse process of L5. LSTV should be included in the differential diagnosis in young patients with lower back pain, and scintigraphic imaging should be considered for...
متن کاملBone turnover markers are correlated with total skeletal uptake of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP)
BACKGROUND Skeletal uptake of 99mTc labelled methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) is used for producing images of pathological bone uptake due to its incorporation to the sites of active bone turnover. This study was done to validate bone turnover markers using total skeletal uptake (TSU) of 99mTc-MDP. METHODS 22 postmenopausal women (52-80 years) volunteered to participate. Scintigraphy was p...
متن کاملVertebral metastases from intracranial meningioma
Meningioma rarely gives rise to metastases outside the brain and meninges. We report here a case of a patient who was treated for anaplastic brain meningioma with surgery and fractionated radiation therapy without any recurrence until 5 years after the operation, when she developed vertebral metastases.
