Bone Scan OSTEOSARCOMA
Male
9 y/o, history of pain in right lower limb. Note intense inferior femur uptake(arrows).
Bone scan in osteosarcoma is highly sensitive to detect the primary tumor as a
mixed intense osteoblastic and sometimes osteolytic lesion either uni or
multifocal. It also helps to unveil bone and soft tissue metastasis.
