Scintigraphic skeletal "doughnut" sign due to giant cell tumor of the fibula

Clin Nucl Med. 1984 Nov;9(11):631-4. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198411000-00006.

Abstract

Although the "doughnut" sign in brain scintigraphy is a well known phenomenon, similar findings have recently been reported in bone scintigraphy in osseous and nonosseous lesions. A skeletal doughnut sign in bone scintigraphy caused by giant cell tumor of the proximal fibula is presented with a brief review of literature.
