Role of (99m)Tc-MDP bone scan in the diagnosis of Erdheim–Chester disease
Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is a progressive disease of unknown etiology. The (99m)technetium-methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) bone scan is useful in finding the sites of involvement in the skeleton and is helpful in excluding other cau...

description | Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a rare systemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is a progressive disease of unknown etiology. The (99m)technetium-methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) bone scan is useful in finding the sites of involvement in the skeleton and is helpful in excluding other causes of bony pain. Also a scintigraphic pattern consistent with ECD should alert the physician to evaluate the patient for visceral sites of involvement using fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), as this is known to be fatal at times. |
