Scintigraphic Skeletal “Doughnut” Sign Due to Giant Cell Tumor of the Fibula

Although the “doughnut” sign in brain scintigraphy is a well known phenomenon, similar findings have recently been reported in bone scintigraphy in osseous and nonosseous lesions. A skeletal doughnut sign in bone scintigraphy caused by giant cell tumor of the proximal fibula is presented with a brie...

Zusammenfassung:	Although the “doughnut” sign in brain scintigraphy is a well known phenomenon, similar findings have recently been reported in bone scintigraphy in osseous and nonosseous lesions. A skeletal doughnut sign in bone scintigraphy caused by giant cell tumor of the proximal fibula is presented with a brief review of literature.
