Solitary abnormalities in bone scans of patients with extraosseous malignancies

RJ Corcoran, JH Thrall, RW Kyle, RJ Kaminski and MC Johnson

The incidence and significance of solitary bone scan abnormalities were assessed in a study of 1,129 consecutive patients with extraskeletal primary malignancies. Solitary abnormalities were encountered in 172 cases (15%). The etiology of the scan abnormality was established in 90 of the 172 cases; 58 (64%) were due to metastatic disease, and 32 (36%) were secondary to a benign process. A significant percentage of solitary scan abnormalities is due to benign disease processes, even in patients with proved extraosseous malignancies.
