  • Title: Scintigraphy of aggressive fibromatosis.
    Author: Hudson TM, Bertoni F, Enneking WF.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1985; 13(1):26-32. PubMed ID: 3969574.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen patients with aggressive fibromatosis underwent skeletal scintigraphy and computed tomography as part of their preoperative staging. Bone involvement was visible on plain radiographs of three patients. For the other 10 patients, the presence or absence of bone involvement was shown best by computed tomography (CT) in five instances, and best by scintigraphy only once. The two studies were equally useful four times. Although skeletal scintigraphy has previously been found to be very accurate for the evaluation of bone involvement by soft tissue sarcomas, it was less useful in these patients with aggressive fibromatosis.
