Tc99m-MDP bone scintigraphy in Engelmann-Camurati disease

Indian J Nucl Med. 2011 Jan;26(1):44-5. doi: 10.4103/0972-3919.84615.

Abstract

Engelmann-Camurati disease (ECD) is a rare bone disorder characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance. It usually presents in early childhood and is associated with symmetrical diaphyseal sclerosis. We report a 20-year-old female with scintigraphic findings characteristic of ECD. She was treated with corticosteroids and showed marked clinical improvement.

Keywords: Bone scintigraphy; Engelmann-Camurati disease; progressive diaphyseal dysplasia.
