BONE IMAGING IN BURKITT'S LYMPHOMA
Keywords:
Burkitt's lymphoma, radionuclide bone scanAbstract
Burkitt's Lymphoma is a tumour of B lymphocytes and unlike other lymphomas tend to be extranodal rather than nodal. Most radionuclide imaging of this disease has been with Gallium-67 citrate (Ga-67). Radionuclide bone imaging with Technetium-99 methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) reports increased activity in areas of bone involvement with a single report of uptake in metastatic calcification in the lungs and gastric mucosa [1]. We present a case of primary Burkitt's lymphoma of the mandible that shows decreased uptake on a Tc-99m MDP bone scan.
