  • Title: [Brown tumors in the technetium-99m methyldiphosphonate bone scan mimicking metastases of parathyroid carcinoma].
    Author: Pianou N, Housianakou I, Papathanasiou N, Karampina P, Giannopoulou C.
    Journal: Hell J Nucl Med; 2006; 9(2):146-8. PubMed ID: 16894425.
    Abstract:
    This is a case of a 78 year old male with parathyroid carcinoma and multiple bone lesions in the technetium-99m methyldiphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) bone scan, initially interpreted as metastatic bone disease, but finally proved to be brown tumors. The interest of this case lies on the rarity of the disease, as well as the co-existence of osteitis fibrosa cystica, which often resembles metastatic bone disease and leads to diagnostic pitfalls.
