title: [A case of tuberculous osteomyelitis resembling metastatic cancer on bone scintigraphy].
abstract: A 48-year-old male was referred to our division, on the suspicion of lung cancer with bone metastasis. Chest radiography showed a mass shadow and bone scintigram demonstrated multiple scattered regions of increased uptake. However bronchial and bone biopsy specimens revealed granuloma with epithelial cells and giant cells. A diagnosis of tuberculous osteomyelitis was made, and antituberculous therapy was begun. Chest radiography and bone scintigrams one year later showed marked improvement.
