  • Title: Localization of Tc-99m MDP in neuroblastoma metastases to the liver and lung.
    Author: Connolly LP, Bloom DA, Kozakewich H, Hoffer FA, Treves ST.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1996 Aug; 21(8):629-33. PubMed ID: 8853916.
    Abstract:
    Localization of skeletal tracer in a neuroblastoma primary is common but localization in extraskeletal metastatic sites has not received recognition. Tc-99m MDP concentration in hepatic or pulmonary metastases was noted in three of ten patients with such metastases. Lesion size appears to be important for demonstrating these metastases with Tc-99m MDP. This was particularly true for hepatic metastases, which were identified only when they were 5 cm or greater in diameter.
