Abstract

Traditionally, a positive bone scan shows single or multiple areas of increased uptake in the metastatic skeletal disease. The occurence of "cold" lytic-like or photon-deficient lesions in bone imaging is probably uncommon. Photon-deficient focus or cold lesion of the sternum was demonstrated on $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ bone imaging in 2 individuals with acute myloid leukemia and primary hepatoma, respectively.
