    Abstract:
    Technetium-99m (V) DMSA scintigraphy was performed in 17 patients with 37 chondrogenic tumors (13 osteochondromas, 14 enchondromas, and 10 chondrosarcomas) that had previously shown uptake of Tc-99m HMDP. Technetium-99m (V) DMSA showed high uptake by all chrondrosarcomas, but low or no uptake always indicated benign chondrogenic tumors. Technetium-99m (V) DMSA scintigraphy may be superior to Tc-99m HMDP scintigraphy for distinguishing benign and malignant chondrogenic tumors, and could also be useful for diagnosing the malignant transformation of chondrogenic tumors.
