Gallium-67 uptake in fibrous dysplasia of the bone.
In a 43-year-old woman with fibrous dysplasia of the ribs and facial bone and in a 40-year-old man with fibrous dysplasia of the facial bone, there were considerable increases in the uptake of Tc-99m methylenediphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) and Gallium-67 citrate. Fibrous dysplasia should be added to differential diagnosis of high Gallium-67 citrate uptake in the bone lesions.
