Abstract
Tc-99m HMPAO WBC scintigraphy is a highly sensitive and specific method for detection and localization of infection and abscess formation. Nevertheless, WBC accumulation in some neoplastic lesions has been reported. We experienced a case with unusual increased uptake of Tc-99m HMPAO WBC in chondrosarcoma. Although the exact cause ms unclear, the possible mechanism is discussed.
