Paget's disease of the sternum simulating an ectopic adenoma on parathyroid scintigraphy.
The authors present the case of a patient with recurrent hyperparathyroidism who was shown on thallium-technetium subtraction scintigraphy, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging to have recurrent parathyroid tissue in the right side of the neck. The thallium scan also showed intense uptake centrally in the chest, mimicking an intrathoracic adenoma. This was subsequently shown on plain films and a radionuclide bone scan to be due to Paget's disease of the sternum. This case illustrates the value of a combined imaging strategy in preventing an unnecessary thoracotomy after a false-positive nuclear medicine scan.

Bone scintigraphy and costochondritis.
Four patients with infectious costochondritis were studied with computed tomography (CT) and bone scintigraphy. In all four patients the bone scan detected and accurately localized the sites of involvement. CT did not image bilateral involvement in one patient. Three of the four patients were intravenous drug abusers; in two of these patients, a species of Aspergillus was the offending organism. Therefore, in patients with signs and symptoms of chest wall inflammation, scintigraphy is the most direct route to the diagnosis of costochondritis. This entity is apparently occurring more frequently because of the prevalence of intravenous drug abuse. Bone scintigraphy delineates both the extent of individual costochondral lesions and their multiplicity.
