| Popis: | Scintigraphy was instrumental in two histologically proven cases of forme fruste melorheostosis. Radionuclide bone scans demonstrated a moderately increased uptake of radiopharmaceutical localized to the "flowing" cortical hyperostosis of melorheostosis observed radiographically. The medullary portion of the affected bones showed no increase in tracer activity. In one case, imaging with Tl-201 chloride demonstrated increased focal activity of the lesion. These scintigraphic findings can help distinguish the mildest manifestation (forme fruste) of melorheostosis from the well-ossified lesions of myositis ossificans and parosteal or periosteal osteosarcoma. The findings of MRI are also described in one patient. |
