Abstrakt: A solitary bone lesion was detected by 99mTc bone scintigraphy during a survey for metastatic disease. A trauma in this region which had occurred 47 years previously, was mentioned by the patient on questioning. This case report emphasizes the need for a precise history of traumatic events, no matter how long has passed, before a survey for metastatic disease or when an atypical lesion is noted on the bone scan.
