'Cold lesions' on bone scan. A case of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.
Photopenic osseous lesions are a well-recognized but unusual manifestation of metastatic disease on bone scintigraphy. Common primary tumors giving rise to such lesions include lung, breast, renal, and thyroid. This case report illustrates multiple "cold" osseous metastases from aggressive penile squamous cell carcinoma without radiographic destruction.
