Περίληψη:
A 46-year-old man was referred to our department for a Tc-99m MDP bone
scan after he was admitted to our hospital with diffuse bone pain and
the subsequent finding of multiple mixed type (lytic-blastic) lesions on
routine x-rays. The Tc-99m MDP scan was highly suspicious for malignancy
and, therefore, a Tc-99m MIBI scan was performed, which also revealed
abnormal uptake in all regions with increased osteoblastic activity.
Clinical chemistry and further workup revealed a highly elevated serum
alkaline phosphatase and increased excretion of hydroxyproline in the
urine. The presumed diagnosis of Paget’s disease of the bone was further
confirmed by biopsy.
