Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer, especially in 'developed' countries. 30-85% of metastatic breast patients will develop bone metastases during course disease. The study was aimed to evaluate pattern skeletal metastasis with whole body scan using 99mTechnetium methyl diphosphonate (99m'Tc-MDP). Methods: This single center based retrospective observational conducted a...

isolated skeletal metastasis to the bony calvarium is extremely rare in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. we describe the clinical and imaging findings in a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with metastases to the bony calvarium as the sole site of metastasis. the patient was a 65-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, f...

Unlike other soft tissue sarcomas, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL) has a tendency to spread to extrapulmonary sites but bone metastases are thought to be uncommon. In case reports, negative bone scintigraphy has been noted in patients with myxoid/round cell liposarcoma and bone metastases but the prevalence and optimal method of diagnosis of bone metastases in this common subtype of liposa...

Skeletal metastases are very common in prostate cancer and represent the main metastatic site in about 80% of prostate cancer patients, with a significant impact in patients' prognosis. Early detection of bone metastases is critical in the management of patients with recently diagnosed high-risk prostate cancer: radical treatment is recommended in case of localized disease; systemic therapy sho...

The incidence of bone metastases (BM) in advanced non-smallcell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is estimated to range from 30% to 40% [1,2]. The presence of BM often results in pathologic remodeling of the affected bone compartment, making affected bones vulnerable to skeletal related events (SREs). SREs include pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, requirement for radiation, surgery to b...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate therapy with high doses of (111)Indium pentetreotide in a patient with bone metastases from a carcinoid of the pancreas. CASE REPORT A 55-Year-old male presented in November 1990 with stomach ache with dorsal irradiation. Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT-) scans of the abdomen revealed a tumour of the tail of the pancreas and liver metastases. Histological exa...

BACKGROUND/AIM Detection of metastatic bone disease by skeletal scintigraphy is a classical application of nuclear medicine in cancer patients. Detection of bone metastases in patients with lung cancer is necessary for an appropriate treatment modality. The aim of this study was to report the frequency and imaging characteristics of bone metastases detected by bone scintigraphy (BS) using techn...
