| Popis: | Recent advances in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have prolonged patient survival. However, the number of patients with bone metastases identified during follow-up examinations has increased. Tc-99m Sn-N-pyridoxy-5-methyltryptophan (Tc-99m PMT) has been reported to accumulate at a high rate in HCC lesions and bone metastases. In the patient described here, whole-body scintigraphy showed accumulation of DTPA galactosyl human serum albumin (Tc-99m GSA) and Tc-99m PMT in bone metastases from HCC. The authors suggest that asialoglycoprotein receptors may be present in bone metastases from well-differentiated HCC. Tc-99m GSA whole-body imaging can be used to detect bone metastases from HCC and to evaluate hepatic reserve. |
