Demonstration of systemic lymphnodes by bone scintigraphy in amyloidosis

We report a case of primary amyloidosis with calcification of systemic lymphnodes which were demonstrated as positives by bone scintigraphy. Positive sites delineated by bone scintigraphy would seem likely to reflect avid calcification of amyloid deposits. The discovery of positive systemic lymphnodes by bone scintigraphy is very rare in a routine study and may allow for amyloidosis in a differential diagnosis.
