title: Reduced perfusion and uptake of Tc-99m HDP in the iliac bone. A rare presentation of pelvic osteomyelitis.
abstract: The authors present a case report of a young patient with two osteomyelitic foci. Bone scintigraphy showed a rare combination of a cold and a hot spot. Possible problems in the interpretation of the scintigram in patients with pelvic osteomyelitis are discussed.
