Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic efficiency of bone scintigraphy, fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in the evaluation of bone metastasis of the several malignant tumors.
Materials and Methods: A total of Thirteen13 patients (9nine Ffemales and, 4four Mmales; mean 62,.3 ± 7,.1 years) with diagnosis of different malignant tumors were included in the study. The comparison of bone scintigraphy, FDG, and NaF PET/CT results were was performed retrospectively.
Results: The NaF PET/CT demonstrated all the metastatic patients in this series; however, FDG PET/CT missed 7/13 and bone scintigrapyhy 1/13 of the patients with bone metastasis. NaF PET/CT showed significantly higher number of metastatic lesions in all the patients.
Conclusion: The lesion- based analysis showed that NaF PET/CT is significantly superior to FDG PET/CT and bone scintigraphy and patient- based analysis lower detection rate for the FDG PET/CT.
Keywords: Bone, scintigraphy, metastasis, sodium fluorideNaF, fluorodeoxyglucosefdg.

Abstract

Introduction: Tumour-like lesions of the bone is area frequently used term but has have not yet been clearly defined. There are no definite guidelines available for their management. The present study was aimed to evaluate the tumour-like lesions and their management.
Case Report: A total of 164 cases of tumour-like lesions managed by the senior author in a Cancer Institute during the past three decades were systematically analyzed. By and large non-aggressive and non-operative treatment was given in all conditions. Outcome of conservative management of tumour-like lesions was very encouraging on long-term follow-up .
Conclusions: Most of the cases with lesser interventions produced better results. They need to be treated only if they are symptomatic or likely to produce a pathological fracture. Even in such situations, one need not take a radical approach.
Keywords: Tumour-like lesions, Cystic lesions, Fibrous lesions.
