Abstract:
99mTc-MDP bone scan was performed in a 49-year-old woman with breast cancer. Whole-body bone scan showed multiple foci of increased MDP activity in the bone and intense splenic 99mTc-MDP uptake. Initial bone marrow aspiration in multiple locations yielded no blood cells. A subsequent bone marrow biopsy in the left anterior superior iliac spine showed myelofibrosis in addition to the known bone metastasis.
