title: Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy of relapsing polychondritis.
abstract: Relapsing polychondritis is a progressive multisystem disorder that predominantly affects cartilage, producing an inflammatory reaction. The scintigraphic findings of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan is a case of relapsing polychondritis are described and discussed.
