Background: Bone sarcomas are the most common malignancies of bone tissues in children, and are classified intotwo groups as osteosarcoma and Ewing’s Sarcoma. Treatment and prognosis depend on the subtype and grade ofthe tumor. The goal of this study was to evaluate the features bone sarcoma in patients referred to MAHAK childrenhospital since 2007 to 2009.Materials and Methods: This was a retr...

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare congenital form of localized gigantism characterized by an increase in all mesenchymal elements, particularly fibroadipose tissue. MR imaging can be used to examine the soft tissue and detect the fibrous and fatty hypertrophy that characterizes this condition and also diagnose an associated fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median or plantar nerve. We des...

  Metastatic survey of the patients with known primary malignancies with bone scan is one of the most common studies in nuclear medicine. Unfortunately the conventional planar bone scan has a very low specificity for differentiating benign from malignant lesions especially in the spinal column. In this study, we compared the specificity of SPECT imaging and convention...

  Background : Glenoid bone damages consisting of anterior rim erosion and bony avulsion are very important in decision making for treatment of recurrent dislocation in shoulder joint. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of these damages in patients with anterior recurrent shoulder dislocation.   Methods : The study was a cross-sectional study evaluating patients with unstable shou...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the need for a bone scan as a routine staging procedure in patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer in relation to serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, and thus determine whether a reduction of the use of this staging method is possible in patients with a low probability of osseous metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS The results ...

a 14 years old girl, with documented ewing's sarcoma, was treated by both chemotherapy and surgery. an initial bone scan (tc-99m-mi)i*) did not reveal a renal lesion. however, following therapeutic irradiation, there was retention of the bone imaging agent in a portion of the kidney that had been included in the radiation field. this reflected the effects of radiation related parenchymal altera...

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).
