Tc-99m MDP uptake in uterine leiomyoma

Clin Nucl Med. 2000 Jun;25(6):484. doi: 10.1097/00003072-200006000-00024.

Abstract

A 47-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of the right breast had bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m MDP. Bone imaging did not show any metastases. However, a large area of increased tracer uptake was seen extending from the abdomen to the pelvis. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large solid and heterogeneous mass, measuring 18 x 11 x 14.3 cm, that originated in an empty uterus. A biopsy of the surgical specimen showed a leiomyoma of the uterus.
