Radiopharmaceutical diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester's disease.
Erdheim-Chester's disease is a non-inherited multi-focal lipid-storing histiocytosis of unknown origin without a complete and convincing diagnostic and therapeutic protocol. We have previously suggested diagnostic methods using radioisotopes to evaluate this disseminating disease, but they are neither specific nor selective in this regard. The present hypothesis-driven paper reviewing our case proposes novel approaches involving nuclear medicine and utilizing radiopharmaceuticals to identify this potentially fatal multi-system disease.

An isotope-diagnostic approach to Erdheim-Chester's disease of the heart.
Erdheim-Chester's disease is a form of histiocytic granulomatosis afflicting the skeletal system and various inner organs. Apart from incidental findings of involvement of various structures and tissues, a complete diagnostic workup to evaluate afflicted bodily parts is not known. The authors we present several specific isotope-diagnostic techniques of a case to support the identification of this rare multisystem infiltrative disease. Topics: Bone and Bones; Coronary Disease; Erdheim-Chester Disease; Heart; Humans; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Male; Middle Aged; Orbital Diseases; Organophosphorus Compounds; Organotechnetium Compounds; Radiopharmaceuticals; Technetium Tc 99m Medronate; Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon; Whole Body Imaging | 2006 |
