Metastatic adenocarcinoma mimicking unilateral sacroiliitis. The Journal of rheumatology, 1995, Volume: 22, Issue:5 Back pain is a common clinical syndrome that may be the expression of an uncommon pathological process. We describe an unusual case of adenocarcinoma mimicking unilateral sacroiliitis. When progressive symptoms are unresponsive to conventional therapy, diagnosis should always be reconsidered, with appropriate imaging studies. We discuss mechanisms of joint space involvement and review the literature.

Tomoscintigraphy of the lumbar spine: prospects and clinical application. European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 1994, Volume: 3, Issue:6 In an in vivo prospective study, we examined the lumbar spine of 18 patients presenting with a first episode of acute low-back pain with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Scintigraphic activity at L2 was considered 100%, and the other levels were quantified in relation to L2. MRI scans were rated for disc signal intensity on T2-weighted images. The results show that an abnormal intervertebral MRI signal corresponds with an abnormal image on tomoscintigraphy. On tomoscintographic profiles, the disappearance of the 'discal dip' corresponds well with degeneration on MRI. Furthermore, a positive MRI at one level appears to influence other levels at which a significantly higher scintigraphic activity was observed. Of patients with acute LBP 50% had a normal disc SPECT; it is concluded that in these cases a non-discal origin for the pain must be sought.

Metastatic adenocarcinoma mimicking unilateral sacroiliitis.

Back pain is a common clinical syndrome that may be the expression of an uncommon pathological process. We describe an unusual case of adenocarcinoma mimicking unilateral sacroiliitis. When progressive symptoms are unresponsive to conventional therapy, diagnosis should always be reconsidered, with appropriate imaging studies.
