title: Localization of bone-seeking agent within a desmoid tumor.
abstract: This is a case report of a patient who had a desmoid tumor which localized 99mTc-diphosphonate. The mechanism for this localization was felt to be the affinity of the bone agent for the immature proliferating collagen in this tumor.
