This case report describes the incidental finding of intestinal leakage during bone scan imaging with Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in a patient with previously diagnosed protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). Most radiopharmaceuticals reported in the literature that are useful for making this diagnosis are not generally available for clinical use in the United States. This report suggests that Tc-99m-MDP is useful for confirming the diagnosis of PLE although further investigations are indicated to determine the accuracy of this method.
本病例报告描述了一名先前诊断为蛋白丢失性肠病（PLE）的患者在使用锝-99m亚甲基二膦酸盐（MDP）进行骨扫描成像时意外发现肠道渗漏的情况。文献中报道的大多数有助于做出该诊断的放射性药物在美国一般无法用于临床。本报告表明，锝-99m-MDP有助于确诊PLE，不过仍需进一步研究以确定该方法的准确性。
