title: Hepatic metastasis arising from diverse primary pathologies diagnosed on 99mTc-Methylene diphosphonate bone scan.
abstract: We are presenting two cases that illustrate nonosseous localization of 99mTc-Methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in hepatic metastases arising from varied primary pathology and review of the literature. This series emphasizes the evidence of MDP localization in hepatic metastases arising from adenocarcinoma of rectum and infiltrating duct cell carcinoma of the breast.
