Two cases of retrosternal multinodular goiter are described in which 99mTc-MDP concentrated. The possible etiology of this unexpected finding is briefly discussed in addition to the differentiation from other mediastinal tumors which may potentially accumulate 99mTc-MDP.

A patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to a mucin-secreting adenocarcinoma demonstrated striking, diffuse uptake of 99mTc-MDP throughout the abdomen. The radiopharmaceutical distribution accurately delineated the region of tumor involvement within the peritoneal cavity.
A 2 1/2-year-old boy with a posterior mediastinal ganglioneuroblastoma was evaluated by bone scintigraphy using 99mTc-DMP and showed a marked increased uptake in the tumor mass. Although a routine chest X-ray and body CT scan failed to demonstrate calcification, X-ray examination of the removed tumo
