“…Uptake of 99m Tc MDP is an unusual feature of pulmonary metastases but has also been reported in those arising from chondrosarcoma 5 , seminoma and neuroblastoma 6 . The increased activity on bone scintigraphy of pulmonary metastases arising from skeletal osteosarcomas has been well documented, but has not been reported in osteosarcomas arising from the breast.…”
Malignant phyllodes tumour is an uncommon breast neoplasm which undergoes osteosarcomatous differentiation in 1.3% of cases. We document the plain film, CT and scintigraphic features of a case of pulmonary metastases from this rare primary tumour.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
