Diffuse Hepatic and Spleen Uptake of Tc-99m MDP on\ud Bone Scintigraphy Resembling Liver-Spleen Scintigraphy in\ud a Patient of Plasma Cell Tumor

摘要

The present case demonstrates a diffuse intense hepatic and, to a lesser degree, spleen, Tc-99m MDP uptake on a routine bone\udscintigraphy resembling liver-spleen imaging.A49-year-old female with a history of anaplastic plasma cell tumor and suffering from\udbone pain was referred for bone scintigraphy to evaluate possible bone metastases.The bone scintigraphy showed diffuse hepatic\udand spleen uptake of Tc-99m MDP resembling liver-spleen imaging. Furthermore, bone uptake of Tc-99m MDP was significantly\uddiminished and there were no abnormal foci throughout the skeleton. The bone scintigraphy of the present case of an anaplastic\udplasma cell tumor suggests the possible presence of amyloidosis.
