title: [The psoriatic bone manifestation].
abstract: Besides the known joint involvement as seen in the whole-body scan which uses 99m technetium-phosphate-complexes, skeletal scintigraphic investigations in 17 patients with psoriasis have demonstrated circumscribed or diffuse accumulative pathological concentrations of the radionuclide within the skeleton of the skull, the thyroid cartilage, the bony thorax and osseous long bones. These pathological accumulations of radionuclides of TcP-complexes which are distant from joint regions, point to proliferative phenomena in the bone in case of psoriasis especially in alterations of the collagenous metabolism.
