Diffuse abdominal uptake of technetium-99m-HDP after colectomy in Gardner's syndrome.
A 37-yr-old man presented with increasing abdominal girth and multiple palpable intra-abdominal masses 3 yr after colectomy for polyposis coli. Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy performed prior to laparotomy demonstrated diffuse abdominal uptake of 99mTc-HDP consistent with mesenteric fibromatosis confirmed at surgery. When diffuse abdominal uptake of skeletal imaging agents occurs in patients with prior colectomy for polyposis coli, mesenteric fibromatosis as a manifestation of Gardner's syndrome should be suspected. This case illustrates another cause of diffuse abdominal uptake of skeletal imaging agents.

Gardner's syndrome. Case report and discussion of the manifestations of the disorder.
Extracolonic manifestations of Gardner's syndrome are common and may precede the detection of colonic polyps. Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy performed on a patient with Gardner's syndrome demonstrated intense uptake of radiotracer within the maxilla and mandible as a result of the dental anomalies associated with this disorder. Nuclear scintigraphy has a role in the imaging of these patients for skeletal anomalies, the detection of thyroid carcinoma, and for skeletal metastases when colon carcinoma is detected.
