Incidental Hydroxyapatite Ocular Implant Uptake on Bone Scan Done for Prostate Cancer Staging: Case Report and Brief Review

A 74-year-old man recently diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer with high serum prostate specific antigen was referred to nuclear medicine for a technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan. On delayed three-hour anterior planar image, an unexpected round focus of intense uptake...

description A 74-year-old man recently diagnosed with high-risk prostate cancer with high serum prostate specific antigen was referred to nuclear medicine for a technetium-99m-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan. On delayed three-hour anterior planar image, an unexpected round focus of intense uptake was found overlying the right orbit. Single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography localized the uptake to an ocular prosthesis. The hydroxyapatite composition of the ocular implant can be recognized by its bone-like density and its intense accumulation of Tc-99m MDP. Review of the patient’s history revealed remote right eye evisceration secondary to a complication of cataract surgery, consistent with the findings.
