99mTc-pyrophosphate scan and radiographic correlation in thyroid acropachy: case report.
A case of thyroid acropachy secondary to Graves' disease is described. Radiographic abnormalities were found to correlate with those in a 99mTc-pyrophosphate bone scan. Abnormal tracer concentrations were observed in the diaphyses of the metacarpals and phalanges of both hands and also in regions of pretibial myxedema. The differential diagnosis of the scan abnormalities is discussed.
