Bone scintigraphy in chondroblastoma.
Scintigraphy in 3 patients with chondroblastoma showed that the tumors were hyperemic and avidly accumulated the radionuclide. These changes were also present in adjacent normal bone, but to a lesser degree. This suggest that radionuclide uptake in chondroblastoma is a function of the blood supply to the tumor rather than primary matrix extraction.
