Abstract

Bone scintigraphy has been widely used to assess skeletal metastasis in patients with breast cancer. 18F-FDG-PET/CT is another imaging modality that has gained previously wide use to determine metastasis based on increased glucose metabolism in malignant cells. Generally, these two modalities give similar results in evaluation of bone metastasis of breast cancer. In this breast cancer case, 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy showed normal findings in regards to skeletal metastasis while 18F-FDG-PET/CT, contrast-enhanced CT and MRI revealed multiple metastatic focuses.
