We used a combination of bone and bone-marrow scintigraphy to study 25 patients with prostatic cancer. Of the 18 cases whose 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scans showed hot spots in the lower lumbar region of the spine and/or the pelvic bone, 8 had normal bone-marrow scintigrams. These 8 p
99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy demonstrated localization in an intracranial metastasis of osteogenic sarcoma. This unusual case suggests that bone scintigraphy may have diagnostic value in the early diagnosis of metastatic ossifying lesions.
