β¦ Synopsis
A case is described of reversible, intense gastric uptake of 99mTc-MDP in the fundal region of a patient with myeloma, while very little transient pulmonary fixation was seen. The significance of this unusual finding in terms of relevant blood chemistry, results of gastric biopsies, which failed to show metastatic calcification, and the drugs administered is discussed.

Two hundred and fifty-seven patients were studied with bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals. They were randomly divided into three groups. Two groups were injected with two different 99mTc-methylene diphosphonates from two manufacturers (MDP 1 and MDP 2) and the third group with 99mTc-dicarboxypropane
Three cases (rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphoma, and metastatic malignant melanoma) of unexpected increased uptake of methylenediphosphonate labelled by technetium 99m sodium pertechnetate (99mTc-MDP) are described. The possible mechanisms of the extraosseous tumoral accumulation of 99mTc-MDP in these malig
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
The localization of 99mTc(Sn)-MDP in bone tissue was compared with 99mTc-MDP by means of microautoradiography of undecalcified bone sections. Sections of good histological quality were obtained by a rapid embedding method in methylmethacrylate. No differences were found in the localization of these
