Melorheostosis on three-phase bone scintigraphy. Case report

Clin Nucl Med. 1992 Jul;17(7):561-4. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199207000-00006.

Abstract

Melorheostosis is a benign sclerosing bone dysplasia with a very unusual and characteristic roentgenographic appearance. Its scintigraphic appearance also is characteristic, with asymmetric cortical activity that may cross joints to involve contiguous bones. The authors report the appearance of melorheostosis on angiogram and blood pool phases of three-phase bone scintigraphy.
