✦ Synopsis

This communication reports a presumed increased localization of 99mTc-diphosphonate in a surgical scar 5 months post-op at the site of a medium sternotomy incision. The possible mechanisms for this observation are commented on and a brief review of the observed sites of soft-tissue uptake of 99mTc-labeled bone imaging agents is given.

A case of systemic AL (amyloid light-chain-derived) amyloidosis is presented, in which a 99mTc-diphosphonate bone scan demonstrated the intense uptake of tracer in the liver, spleen, heart, thyroid, oropharyngeal region, intestinal tract and uterus. The presence of amyloid deposits in these organs w
