Detection of a brain metastasis from osteosarcoma with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scanning.
99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scintigraphy demonstrated localization in an intracranial metastasis of osteogenic sarcoma. This unusual case suggests that bone scintigraphy may have diagnostic value in the early diagnosis of metastatic ossifying lesions.
