Bone metastasis detected by FDG PET in a patient with breast cancer and fibrous dysplasia.

Bone scintigraphy is sensitive for detecting bone metastases in patients with malignancies. However, it is often difficult to differentiate bone metastases from other nonmalignant lesions. We encountered a patient with a history of breast cancer who showed substantial elevation of tumor markers 4 years after surgery. Although there were no subjective symptoms and the bone scan showed multiple hot spots, which were similar to previous scans and which had been diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia on radiographs, a whole-body FDG PET scan showed a solitary area of intense uptake at the site of one of the hot spots in the bone scan. A solitary bone metastasis was confirmed by MRI and the patient then received radiation therapy and the elevated tumor markers of CEA and CA 15-3 were normalized after the therapy.

[Fibrous dysplasia of bone in a 12-year old girl].

Fibrous dysplasia of bone is a rare congenital bone disease, usually coming out before the age of 30. It is 2.5% of all bone tumours and 7.5 % of benign tumours of bones. The authors present a case of a 12-years old girl with fibrous dysplasia of bone admitted to the Department with hyperparathyroidism suspicion. Pathological changes were localized in the orbital cavity and sinuses. The diagnosis was established on the basis of the clinical course, imaging and histopathological examinations. The therapy with pamidronian acid was applied.
