  • Title: Concentration of Tc-99m MDP in ovarian carcinoma and its soft tissue metastases.
    Author: Beres RA, Patel N, Krasnow AZ, Isitman AT, Hellman RS, Veluvolu P, Patillo RS, Collier BD.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1991 Aug; 16(8):550-2. PubMed ID: 1934805.
    Abstract:
    A patient with ovarian carcinoma was evaluated for skeletal metastasis with a routine whole body bone scan. Although no bone metastases were visualized, there was dramatic accumulation of tracer in the soft tissues of the abdomen. CT revealed calcifying soft tissue metastases on the liver surface, the bowel serosa, and in the pelvis corresponding to the abnormal areas of Tc-99m MDP uptake. Tumor necrosis and ongoing calcification within the metastatic sites are possible explanations for this unusual soft tissue concentration of the bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical. In patients with metastatic ovarian carcinoma, careful review of extraosseous regions on bone scan images may provide valuable diagnostic information.
