Abstract (German)

Ein 55jaehriger Mann mit seit zwei Wochen andauernden lumbalen Schmerzen wurde in der orthopaedischen Klinik untersucht. Die Evolution des klinischen Bildes und eine Knochenszintigraphie ermoeglichten die Diagnose. Dieser klinische Fall und das wissenschaftliche Schrifttum zeigten, wie wichtig eine routinemaessige Knochenszintigraphie in der Diagnostik von Knochenmetastasen ist. (orig.)
