title: A large soft-tissue lipoma shown on bone scintigraphy.
abstract: A 74-year-old male patient with a newly diagnosed prostate cancer had whole-body bone scintigraphy for staging. The images did not demonstrate osseous metastasis. However, there was a large ring-shaped, relatively photopenic region with peripherally increased MDP activity in the left back, which was caused by a large lipoma.
