Incidental Bone Scintigraphic Detection of Asymptomatic Paget’s Disease of the Skull During Evaluation of Sternal Osteomyelitis

Paget’s disease is a chronic metabolic disease with multifactorial etiology. Tc99m MDP Three-phase- Bone-scintigraphy isof particular importance in assessing ongoing acute osteoblastic activity. Hyperaemia and osteoblastic activity are evaluatedwhich are important underlying mechanisms of Paget’s pathophysiology. We describe a case of incidental detection Paget’sdisease of skull in a patient who underwent bone scan for suspected osteomyelitis in sternum.Keywords: Bone scan, Paget’s disease, skull

Abstract

Paget’s disease is a chronic metabolic disease with multifactorial etiology. Tc99m MDP Three-phase- Bone-scintigraphy isof particular importance in assessing ongoing acute osteoblastic activity. Hyperaemia and osteoblastic activity are evaluatedwhich are important underlying mechanisms of Paget’s pathophysiology. We describe a case of incidental detection Paget’sdisease of skull in a patient who underwent bone scan for suspected osteomyelitis in sternum.Keywords: Bone scan, Paget’s disease, skull
