Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the imaging findings in extra-articular chondrocalcinosis in a 53-year-old man with swelling and pain in right scapular area for 1 year. Plain radiography showed a right scapular area calcific mass. The clinical suspicion was of a soft tissue sarcoma. As a part of diagnostic workup, a bone scan and a PET/CT scan were done. Bone scan revealed intense MDP uptake in the right scapular area. FDG PET/CT revealed intense FDG uptake in the mass. The biopsy revealed chondrocalcinosis. This is an addition to our long list of causes of extraosseous uptake of MDP. |
