Spleen Uptake on Bone Scan After Frequent Platelet and RBC Transfusions.
A 21-year-old man, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipient, was referred to our nuclear medicine department for a suspicion of knee osteonecrosis. Bone scan with Tc-HMDP did not show abnormal bone uptake but an intense spleen accumulation. F-FDG PET/CT performed on the same day showed no pathological spleen uptake. The patient had secondary hemochromatosis resulting from frequent transfusions in the setting of a chronic graft versus host disease with hemolysis and thrombocytopenia. The last RBC and platelet transfusions were performed 9 and 2 days before the examination, respectively. Secondary hemochromatosis and recent transfusions may explain our findings.

Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy of myositis as a manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease after non-myeloablative peripheral stem cell transplantation.
A 27-year-old man developed polymyositis as a manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after non-myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Bone scintigraphy showed intense, striped, and heterogeneous accumulation of Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (MDP) in the soft-tissue of his lower limbs, while faint activities were seen in the right upper limb. Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy was very useful for accurate and objective evaluation of the severity of the muscle injury and the extent of polymyositis caused by chronic GVHD.

Two patients with abnormal skeletal muscle uptake of Tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate following liver transplant: nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy and graft vs host disease.
Tc-99m hydroxymethylene disphosphonate administered for skeletal scintigraphy may be seen in the extraosseous tissues for various etiologies. This report presents similar abnormal lower extremity skeletal muscle uptake in 2 patients status postorthotopic liver transplant. Although the history and scintigraphic appearance of the 2 were similar, subtle differences in cutaneous lesions and histology led to disparate diagnoses.
