  • Title: Accumulation of Tc-99m MDP in amyloidosis involving the tongue.
    Author: Burke TS, Tatum JL, Fratkin MJ.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1990 Feb; 15(2):107-9. PubMed ID: 2311318.
    Abstract:
    Radionuclide bone imaging using Tc-99m phosphates may show accumulation of activity in amyloid deposits. While many sites of amyloidosis have been detected with bone imaging, many reports center on cardiac amyloidosis. The case reported here demonstrates accumulation of Tc-99m MDP in amyloidosis involving the skin and muscle, including the tongue.
