Breast cancer skeletal metastases

Discussion:

This is a case of osteoblastic metastatic disease in a patient with known breast cancer. Osteoblastic skeletal metastases demonstrate increased uptake of tracer (Tc99m HDP or MDP), reflecting the increased rate of matrix deposition associated with the lesions. On bone scan, skeletal metastases are more common in the axial and proximal appendicular skeleton.
