Histiocytosis X. V. Serum calcitonin concentrations and osteolytic activity
Acta Radiologica: Oncology, Radiation, Physics, Biology
|January 1, 1979
Abstract:
Serum calcitonin determinations were carried out in 11 patients with histiocytosis X, 5 having lytic bone lesions. All serum calcitonin concentrations were within normal range. This makes serum calcitonin determinations useless as a marker of osteolytic activity in patients with histiocytosis X.
