Accumulation of bone-scanning agents in hepatoma.
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma demonstrating intense uptake of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) is described. This is one of three cases seen by the authors who suggest that hepatoma be considered along with other previously described entities when there is localized accumulation of a bone-scanning agent in the liver.
