Abstract

Bone scintigraphy is primarily used for the assessment of osseous structures, soft tissue uptake of Tc-99m Methylene
deoxy- phosphonate (MDP) is unusual in normal circumstances and may lead to unsuspected diagnosis. We present
a case highlighting the importance of studying the soft tissues to assess for findings other than osseous on bone
scintigraphy in a patient with prior history of breast carcinoma.
Keywords: Breast cancer, calcified uterine fibroid, Tc-99m MDP bone scan
