  • Title: Super bone scan in metastatic stomach cancer.
    Author: Saphner T, Love RR, Perlman S.
    Journal: Wis Med J; 1990 Apr; 89(4):161-3. PubMed ID: 2353494.
    Abstract:
    Within the imaging literature, the super bone scan has emerged as a distinct type of bone scan with a specific differential diagnosis. Previous reviews have included prostate, breast, bladder and colon cancer, and lymphoma among the causes of a super bone scan but have not included stomach cancer. We report a super bone scan caused by late recurrence of stomach cancer in the bone marrow. Because the management of stomach cancer is significantly different than the management of other causes of a super bone scan, the distinction is clinically relevant. We conclude that stomach cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a super bone scan.
