Extraosseous soft tissue metastases from osteosarcoma occasionally accumulate Tc-99m MDP. The authors present a case of osteogenic sarcoma of the femur with a pulmonary metastasis detected by bone imaging with radiographic correlation including CT and magnetic resonance imaging. The implication of the detection of osseous and extraosseous metastasis in these patients by bone imaging is discussed. The changing role of bone imaging in the initial workup and follow-up of patients with osteogenic sarcoma is reviewed in light of the change in course and prognosis of the disease as a result of recent advances in adjuvant chemotherapy.
