Cold Lesion of a Vertebral Angioma With Tc-99m–Labeled Monoclonal Antibodies Against Granulocytes

Antigranulocyte immunoscintigraphy is indicated for diagnostic imaging to determine the location and extent of infection. We present a case of a focal cold lesion in a vertebra of a patient thought to have a septic focal lesion. Whole-body scanning and dorsal spine SPECT revealed no focal increased...

Zusammenfassung:	Antigranulocyte immunoscintigraphy is indicated for diagnostic imaging to determine the location and extent of infection. We present a case of a focal cold lesion in a vertebra of a patient thought to have a septic focal lesion. Whole-body scanning and dorsal spine SPECT revealed no focal increased uptake. CT and MR studies revealed the presence of a vertebral angioma. Conditions associated with a defect of uptake in immunoscintigraphy are discussed.
