Incidental lymph node visualization on bone scan due to subcutaneous infiltration of Tc-99m MDP. A potential for false positive interpretation.
Soft tissue localization of radiotracer on bone scintigraphy may result in false-positive interpretations, if the activity overlies a bony structure. A case is presented in which special views and follow-up clarified the soft tissue nature of focal uptake in arm and axilla.
