Abdominal metastases of an ovarian cancer demonstrated on bone imaging.
Tc-99m HMDP uptake by abdominal metastases of an ovarian cancer was seen on a bone image. The findings were confirmed by computed tomography and by biopsy at surgery. The psammoma bodies throughout the tumor tissue appeared to be the substrate of this unusual extraosseous tracer uptake.
