title: [Bone metastasis secondary to renal carcinoma diagnosed with bone scintigraphy].
abstract: We reported the case of a 35-y-old man with renal cell carcinoma and cold lesions detected by bone scintigraphy, related to metastatic involvement. Conventional X-Ray did not show any pathological findings, being confirmed by axial computed tomography (CT) the scintigraphic bone lesions. We have accomplished a discussion of the role of bone scintigraphy and complementary techniques (radiography, alkaline phosphatase levels) in the diagnosis of bone metastases in renal cell carcinoma.
