title: [External therapy with radioactive urine: a pitfall during sceletal scintigraphy].
abstract: A 41-year-old male patient suffering from psoriasis arthropathica underwent a two-phase bone scan for activity of joint affections. Extensive diffuse skin contamination of the extremities in the delayed images was due to the use of the patient's own radioactive urine as an embrocation for psoriasis exanthema.
