Increased Muscle Uptake of Bone Seeking Agent in A Patient with Polymyositis: A Case Report
Keywords:
Bone scan, polymyositis, acute renal failureAbstract
A 38-year-old male presented with fever, muscle pain, weakness and acute renal failure. Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan showed increase uptake by muscles of the shoulders and hips. Biopsy of the deltoid muscle was compatible with myositis. On two consecutive follow-up scans, the degree of muscle uptake correlated well with the recovery of the disease.
