this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

The treatment of benign bone tumors (BBT) and tumor-like bone lesions (TBL) has observed the introduction of new drugs, such as intravenous bisphosphonates, which have ossified bone lesions caused by fibrous dysplasia. Aneurismal bone cyst has been treated with sclerosing agents by percutaneous injection, yielding good results. Adjuvants allow joint salvage, maintenance of movements and functio...

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is characterized by a clonal expansion of plasma cells in the bone marrow. These typically produce monoclonal immunoglobulin, and its symptoms arise either from cell infiltration several organs, or secondary to presence protein peak. Symptoms can be summarized acronym CRAB (hypercalcemia, renal failure, anemia lesions). Sometimes, setting secreting gammopathy, formation cr...

Introduction: Bone metastases are the most common cause of cancer-related pain in various primary malignant tumors, most often, breast and prostate. 188Re-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (188Re-HEDP) is a new and less expensive bone seeking radiopharmaceutical with favorable physical characteristics of the radionuclide such as short half life of 16.9h, maximal β energy of ...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate whether high-resolution sonography can provide additional information concerning rib lesions compared with radiography or bone scintigraphy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-eight patients with high-uptake rib lesions seen on bone scintigraphy were selected. Radiography and rib high-resolution sonography were performed on these patients. High-resolution sonography...
