- Abstract:
- Whole-body bone scintigraphy using 99m-Tc-methylene diphosphonate (99m-Tc-MOP) is daily routine in our department mostly for the follow-up of oncological diseases. It is a sensitive method for the early diagnosis of skeletal metatases and their follow-up. One of these diseases is a carcinoma of the prostate. In one of these cases scintigraphy showed a focal, lobed tracer-uptake in the left as ilium, which seemed to be an osseous lesion. In reality the patient had a renal transplant. We saw the extraosseous uptake which was the parenchym and the pyelocalyceal system of the transplanted organ. Because of his prostatic cancer this might be misunderstood as a skeletal tumor or metastasis a pitfall in diagnosing which illustrates the importance of interdisciplinary communication.
