Determination of extent and activity with radionuclide imaging in Erdheim-Chester disease.
Erdheim-Chester disease usually involves the diaphyseal and metaphyseal regions of tubular bones and various visceral organs. A 56-year-old woman presented with the histologically confirmed diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease. A Tc-99m MDP bone scan revealed the entire extent of the skeletal disease and showed unusual involvement of the epiphyses and axial skeleton. In addition to MRI, a Ga-67 citrate scan including SPECT showed extensive soft-tissue infiltration of different organs. Both Tc-99m MDP and Ga-67 scintigraphy are useful tools in determining the distribution of this rare disease.
