Description

We present the case of a 66-year-old-male patient who suffered from a bronchial carcinoma with a rib metastasis which was detected by PET staging with a relevant 18F-FDG-Uptake. The bone scintigram with 99mTc-DPD showed a defect in this area. The agressive disease induced no osteoblastic response. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Vorgestellt wird der Fall eines 66jaehrigen Patienten mit einem Bronchialkarzinom und einer Rippenmetastase, die beim PET-Staging durch einen deutlich erhoehten 18F-FDG-Uptake entdeckt wurde. Die Knochenszintigraphie mit 99mTc-DPD zeigte einen Aktivitaetsdefekt im Bereich dieser Rippe. Hier handelte es sich um einen schnell wachsenden Prozess ohne Einwirkung auf eine osteoblastische Aktivitaet. (orig.)
