Abstract

Uptake of ^99mTc-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) in spleen is very rare in ^99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy scan. We encountered a 14-year-old child patient with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis was examined by ^99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy. There was intense uptake of tracer in spleen. The patient was treating with chemotherapy and 4 cycles of chemotherapy were completed. Ultrasonography report revealed that there was mild spleenomegaly. Bone scintigraphy showed intense and diffuse MDP accumulation in the enlarged spleen without ultrasonographic or radiologic evidence of calcification. We never seen intense splenic ^99mTc-MDP accumulation in patient with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in any case report or any other literatures.
