From: Accurate characterization of 99mTc-MDP uptake in extraosseous neoplasm mimicking bone metastasis on whole-body bone scan: contribution of SPECT/CT

Fig. 3

A 66-year-old man with a known gastric stromal tumour was referred for metastatic work-up before surgery. The whole-body scan (a, anterior; b, posterior) revealed a single focus of high 99mTc-MDP activity in the right 7th posterior rib region (black arrow). Axial CT (c), and SPECT/ CT images (d) showed that the elevated 99mTc-MDP activity was located in a pulmonary mass with calcification (white arrow). The patient underwent a left lower lobectomy and pathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a lung adenocarcinoma
