TI  - Incidental Tc-99m MDP Uptake in Cortical-subcortical Parietotemporal Cerebral Area in a Patient with a History of Recent Ischemic Cerebrovascular Event who Underwent Whole- body Bone Scan
AB  - The authors present Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) uptake in the right parietotemporal area at whole-body bone scan (WBBS) in 75 years male patient with prostate adenocarcinoma Gleason score 3+4 (pT2N0Mx). No residual or metastatic disease was detected in the patient’s Gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography four months before WBBS. The patient had undetectable prostate-specific antigen levels and underwent WBBS to restage prostate cancer due to equivocal findings in previous WBBS. Current WBBS planar views revealed heterogeneous Tc-99m MDP uptake in the right parietotemporal area and the sphenoid bone in addition to equivocal uptake on the lower lumbar vertebrae. Single-photon emission computed tomography study to identify the MDP-avid lesion on the right cranial area revealed heterogeneous Tc-99m MDP uptake in the right parietotemporal area and sphenoid bone. The patient had a history of transsphenoidal surgery for a hypophyseal tumor two years ago and a recent cerebrovascular event (CVE). Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cortical-subcortical patchy area of restricted diffusion in the parietotemporal region compatible with acute ischemia. Heterogeneous Tc-99m MDP uptake in the right parietotemporal area was attributed to recent CVE and secondary vascular-tissue change-related dystrophic calcification.
