Bone scintigraphy is a valuable imaging modality for a diverse range of skeletal abnormalities. Incidental findings and congenital skeletal anomalies are not uncommonly encountered. Therefore, having a substantial knowledge of these findings, even rare ones, is essential for interpreting physicians. Here, we present a case of previously diagnosed malignancy referred for a bone scintigraphy for skeletal metastatic survey, in which Sprengel's deformity as congenital scapular asymmetry and cervicothoracic scoliosis was noted.
骨闪烁扫描术是一种用于多种骨骼异常情况的重要成像方式。偶然发现和先天性骨骼异常并不罕见。因此,对于解读医生而言,充分了解这些发现,即使是罕见的发现,也是至关重要的。在此,我们呈现一例先前诊断为恶性肿瘤的患者,因进行骨骼转移检查而接受骨闪烁扫描术,其中发现了先天性肩胛不对称的先天性高肩胛症和颈胸段脊柱侧弯。
