Osteosarcoma of the breast: a case report with an unusual diagnostic feature.
We describe a patient with osteosarcoma of the breast with intense uptake by the primary tumour of 99m Tc-methylene diphosphonate on bone scan. This appearance on bone scan strongly suggests a diagnosis of osteosarcoma, and has diagnostic and therapeutic implications which are discussed.
