  • Title: Case report: accumulation of 99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate by liver metastases of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
    Author: Mannion RA, Johnson M.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1993 Mar; 47(3):209-10. PubMed ID: 8472488.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a man with known prostatic carcinoma and bone metastases who was admitted with jaundice and hepatomegaly. A bone scan showed uptake of diphosphonate by the liver and ultrasound suggested the presence of diffuse metastatic disease. Liver biopsy revealed foci of carcinoma cells in the portal tracts which exhibited positive cytoplasmic staining for prostate-specific antigen, thus confirming the presence of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma.
