Chronic Frontal Sinusitis Showing a Ring-Like Accumulation Demonstrated by Tc-99m HMDP Bone Imaging

Bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m HMDP in a 67-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung showed increased uptake in the left frontal lesion. A CT scan showed mucosal thickening of the left frontal sinus. Chronic sinusitis caused mucosal thickening, which accumulated the radionuclide in a rin...

Description
Summary:Bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m HMDP in a 67-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung showed increased uptake in the left frontal lesion. A CT scan showed mucosal thickening of the left frontal sinus. Chronic sinusitis caused mucosal thickening, which accumulated the radionuclide in a ring-like appearance.
