Osteogenic osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant bone tumor with the tendency for local invasion and early metastases. Radionuclide bone scans play an important role in disease management by identifying other areas of skeletal involvement as well as extraosseous metastases. Osteogenic sarcoma metastasis is known to accumulate bone-avid agents due to their osteogenic potential. Here, we report a case of osteogenic osteosarcoma of distal femur with the absence of pleural effusion but extensive extraosseous areas of metastatic involvement in distant lymph nodes, subcutaneous planes (in the form of nodules), abdominal wall, multiple intraperitoneal deposits, breast, and bone metastases visualized on preoperative Tc-99 m methylene diphosphonate bone scan.
成骨性骨肉瘤是一种侵袭性恶性骨肿瘤,具有局部侵袭和早期转移的倾向。放射性核素骨扫描通过识别骨骼受累的其他区域以及骨外转移灶,在疾病管理中发挥着重要作用。由于成骨肉瘤转移灶具有成骨潜能,已知其会摄取亲骨性显像剂。在此,我们报告一例股骨远端成骨性骨肉瘤病例,该病例无胸腔积液,但在术前锝-99m亚甲基二膦酸盐骨扫描中可见远处淋巴结、皮下组织(呈结节状)、腹壁、多个腹腔内沉积物、乳腺广泛的骨外转移灶以及骨转移。
