  • Title: Incrustation and uptake of skeletal imaging agent in transitional cell carcinoma.
    Author: Taniguchi M, Tatsuta N, Yokota H, Ouguchi M, Higashi K, Okimura T, Yamamoto I.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1997 Aug; 38(8):1206-7. PubMed ID: 9255150.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder visualized by 99mTc-HMDP bone scintigraphy and suggest possible uptake mechanisms. Pelvic CT demonstrated a sessile bladder tumor with punctate and curvilinear calcifications on the surface areas (incrustation). Technetium-99m-HMDP bone scintigraphy demonstrated intense uptake corresponding to the site of the bladder tumor. Chemisorption of urinary 99mTc-HMDP, rather than of blood-born 99mTc-HMDP, may have occurred at the tumor surface.
