  • Title: Bone scan in mastocytosis: case report.
    Author: Sy WM, Bonventre MV, Camera A.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1976 Aug; 17(8):699-701. PubMed ID: 819635.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year old man with well-documented systemic mastocytosis showed generalized symmetric increased activity on bone imaging. These scan findings are grossly indistinguishable from those of patients with renal osteodystrophy or secondary hyperparathyroidism. The images of the hands, however, failed to show the changes observed in secondary hyperparathyroidism. The mechanism for this intense activity is thought to be due to aberrant new-bone formation.
