  • Title: Primary osteogenic sarcoma of breast detected on Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy and Tc-99m MDP skeletal scintigraphy.
    Author: Yang JG, Li CL, Hao RR, Zou LF.
    Journal: Ann Nucl Med; 2008 Jan; 22(1):79-82. PubMed ID: 18250991.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old woman presented with a painless breast mass. Tc-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile scintigraphy of both breasts showed a local area of abnormal uptake in the left breast in 5 min and 2 h. A skeletal scan showed very intense concentration of activity in the primary breast tumor in the left breast. A left mastectomy and an axillary dissection were performed. The predominant histologic type of the mass was an osteosarcoma, and the diagnosis of a primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast was made. Primary osteogenic sarcoma of the breast is rare and represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies.
