    Abstract:
    A 50-y-old male patient with prostate cancer showed two suspicious lesions in bone scintigrams. They were assessed to be bone metastases by biopsy of the os ilium. After i.v. injection of 99mTc-HMDP a probe-guided localization permitted optimal surgical treatment. A bone metastasis in the os ilium was confirmed. The intraoperative detection with a hand-held gamma probe permitted accurate and complete excision of the tumour; the bone defect could thus be reduced to a minimum.
