99mTc-MDP Uptake in Diffuse Pleural Recurrences of Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Abstract: A 39-year-old woman with a history of pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma segmental palliative resection underwent a Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy to evaluate possible osseous metastases. The static images revealed diffuse elevated activity in the left hemithorax, more prominent in the lower thorax, which is suggestive of malignant pleural effusion. However, SPECT/CT images showed that the elevated activity was from pleura-based soft tissue masses, which were confirmed as recurrent tumor pathologically after biopsy.

“…The Nerve 6(2) October 2020 135 negative expression of markers for primary pulmonary or renal tumors, such as CD10, TTF-1, and RCC or those for meningiomas or schwannomas, such as EMA and S-100, can help to rule out secondary carcinoid tumors 4,8,10,18,19) . In the 8 cases, negative findings for other IHC markers were reported except in 2 cases, and the current case also confirmed the negativity of various markers.…”
