Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: We presented a 61-year-old man's surprising 99m Tc-MDP whole-body blood pool superscan pattern with early unexpected generalized bone uptake. He complained of weakness and undesired weight loss with anemia and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. As a malignancy workup in a patient without obvious suspicious origin, a whole-body 99m Tc-MDP bone scan was requested. This unusual tracer distribution on blood pool imaging was very similar to the whole-body delayed scan except for visible kidneys.
