Osteotropic radiopharmaceutical uptake has been reported in a wide variety of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. We present an unusual case of pancreaticoblastoma with mesenteric and omental metastases detected by bone scan in a 69-year-old man who presented with fever, weight loss, and renal insufficiency. Pancreaticoblastoma is a rare childhood tumor that may occur in adults, although only two cases of adults with metastatic disease have been described.
