title: Visualization of hepatic metastases of medullary thyroid carcinoma on Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy.
abstract: A 35-year-old man with a history of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid underwent a whole-body bone scan for chest wall pain. Extensive irregular radionuclide uptake was observed in hepatic metastases in both lobes, later confirmed on CT scan. A case of technetium-99m MDP uptake in hepatic metastases from medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is presented and the literature is reviewed.
