Zusammenfassung:In a patient with lung cancer, increased accumulation in both lower legs on bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate was confirmed radiographically to be hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy. A characteristic scintigraphic pattern of radionuclide accumulation could be distinguished from bone metastasis.
