Abstract: | Tc-99m MDP and Tc-99m (V) DMSA images are described from a 49-year-old woman with chronic renal insufficiency complicated by osteomalacia. Clinical, biochemical, and radiologic bone profiles were compatible with osteomalacia. Osteomalacia is a condition associated with disorders in which mineralization of the organic matrix is defective. All bone lesions visualized with Tc-99m MDP also showed increased uptake of Tc-99m (V) DMSA. Tc-99m (V) DMSA accumulation has been reported in many malignant and some benign conditions. Pseudofractures in osteomalacia could be included in the spectrum of benign lesions that accumulate Tc-99m (V) DMSA. |
