Bone scans can misdiagnose skeletal tuberculosis, often mistaken for metastatic bone disease. This study highlights six cases of tuberculosis misdiagnosed on bone scans, emphasizing the need for careful interpretation, especially in patients with normal chest X-rays.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Bone scans are infrequently used for tuberculosis diagnosis.
  • Bone pain is a common symptom leading to bone scan requests, sometimes preceding tuberculosis diagnosis.
  • Multifocal increased uptake on bone scans often indicates metastatic bone disease, posing a risk of misdiagnosis for tuberculosis.
