title: Unusual bone scintigraphy in chronic myelogenous leukemia--report of a case showing extensive uptake defect.
abstract: An extensive 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate uptake defect was observed on bone scintigraphy in a 35-year-old male with chronic myelogenous leukemia. This type of bone scintigraphy pattern is quite unusual in leukemic patients and we speculate that acute disturbance of blood supply to the bone marrow was probably the cause.
