Abstract:
We have reported a case in which focal uptake in a uterine fibroid simulated a sacral metastasis on bone scanning. CT suggested the correct diagnosis. However, a repeat bone scan using single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) was definitive in correctly localizing the abnormality. This method should be used when more precise localization is required than can routinely be obtained.
