Laxative Related Primary Hyperphosphatemic Tumoral Calcinosis Identified by Bone Scintigraphy
We describe a case of a 40-year-old female patient presenting with tumor calcinosis where hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) was suspected given her extensive history of malignancy. Plain X-rays did not show reveal the typical periarticular calcification but did show appearances consistent with HPOA. Bone scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) is a sensitive investi...
متن کاملTumoral calcinosis: a case report.
An 11-year-old girl presented with a progressive swelling of the right elbow after a contusion. Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a densely calcified lesion with no periosteal reaction or fracture. The underlying bone and muscles had normal signal intensity. A bone scan revealed increased uptake over the right elbow and the left buttock and acetabulum. Blood tests revealed no ab...
متن کاملTumoral Calcinosis - A case report
Tumoral calcinosis is a distinct clinical and histologic entity that is characterized by tumour like periarticular deposits of calcium that are found foremost in regions of hip, shoulder and elbow. The disorder occurs predominantly in otherwise healthy children, adolescents, young adults and is more often multiple than solitary. We report a case of Tumoral calcinosis in a 15 year old male and d...
متن کاملEvaluation of vascularized graft reconstruction of the mandible with Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy.
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of bone scintigraphy for the assessment of graft viability following vascularized bone grafts in patients with mandibular reconstruction. METHODS We investigated 16 patients with vascularized grafts from the fibula (13 patients) and iliac crest (3 patients) in the last 8 years. For the follow up of all these patients, Tc-99m MDP bone scintig...
متن کاملThe diagnostic value of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in the diabetic foot and comparison with (99m)Tc-MDP scintigraphy.
UNLABELLED Diabetic foot infection is the most common etiology of nontraumatic amputation of the lower extremities, and early diagnosis is of great importance in its management. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the strength of (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy in diagnosis of osteomyelitis of the diabetic foot and to compare (99m)Tc-IgG scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-methylene diphosphonate ...
