Chemotherapy-Related Gallbladder Visualization in a 99mTc-HMDP SPECT/CT Bone Scan
Résumé
Nonosseous uptakes are occasionally found on bone scintigraphy. Most of them are easily explained by current pathophysiological mechanisms (metastatic calcifications, metabolic process, or extravascular accumulation of radiopharmaceutical) or current artifacts. Other unusual findings are still unexplained. We report 1 didactic case of incidental gallbladder uptake on bone scan. Additional single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging was performed to better characterize abnormal location. The significance of this serendipitous uptake is not clearly established. This finding could be due to altered distribution induced by the chemotherapy regimen and is not the result of intrinsic gallbladder disease.
