Concentration of Tc-99m methylenediphosphonate in hepatic metastases from squamous cell carcinoma.
A case is described in which Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate concentrated in a hepatic metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. We observed radiopharmaceutical concentration in the hepatic metastases, which was probably related to the presence of necrosis with calcification.
