title: Technetium-99m MDP demonstration of neoplastic lesions involving bone and adjacent soft tissue.
abstract: Four patients are presented with malignant tumors involving both bone and adjacent soft tissue. In each of these neoplasms (two representing adenocarcinoma of the prostate, and one each of squamous cell carcinoma of lung and chondrosarcoma), the lesions were detected by accumulation of Tc-99m MDP. Involvement of both bone and soft tissue was confirmed by CT examination or surgery. It is probable that the lesions originated in bone and then extended to soft tissue.
