[Nonmetastatic accumulations in bone radionuclide scans in a patient with breast neoplasm].
A 51 year old woman with breast cancer four years ago was studied by bone scintigraphy. At the moment of the study she had bone pain. The bone scintigraphy showed uptake in humerus and femur and no more uptake in other zones of axial skeleton. Then, we made others radiological procedures (X-Ray and MRI) with the aim to make an accurate diagnosis. Then a diagnosis of benign bone tumours; enchondroma was made. It means something obvious but very interesting. In case of doubt we ever have to compare the bone scintigraphy with other diagnostic. examinations.
