Bone scintigraphy in Ollier's disease: A rare case report

Indian J Nucl Med. 2013 Oct;28(4):226-9. doi: 10.4103/0972-3919.121968.

Abstract

Ollier's disease is characterized by multiple skeletal enchondroma. There are published data regarding Ollier's disease being associated with vascular malformations and non-skeletal neoplasms. We report a case of Ollier's disease in a young male associated with osteochondroma, low grade glioma in the insular cortex of brain and Gilbert's syndrome. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate whole body bone scan is a sensitive investigation to ascertain the complete extent of skeletal involvement particularly the asymptomatic sites.

Keywords: Bone scan; Ollier's disease; glioma; osteochondroma; technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate.
