Tc-99m DMSA uptake by metastatic colorectal carcinoma.
Extrarenal uptake of Tc-99m DMSA is not seen very often. It has previously been described in metastatic disease and was mainly attributed to the presence of V-DMSA in the injected solution. We report a clinical case of incidental visualization of metastatic bone disease of the colon in a patient with renal failure. This could be the result of not only the presence of V-DMSA, but also the renal failure and the atypia of the lesions.
