“…MRI has a high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of osteonecrosis, and should be used when steroid-induced osteonecrosis is suspected [13]. If patients have history of steroid intake or chemotherapy containing steroids, patients suffer from bone or joint pains following steroid regimen, or symmetric tracer uptake on the bone scintigraphy, steroid-induced osteonecrosis should be considered and further MRI imaging is definitely needed to consolidate the diagnosis [13][14][15].…”

Here, we reported a panel of rare diseases involving bilateral lower extremities with similar imaging patterns on 99mTc-MDP bone scans. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G-6PD deficiency), Gaucher disease (GD), steroid-induced osteonecrosis, progressive diaphyseal dysplasia (PDD), Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD) and Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) were included and imaging characteristics were analyzed. The rare properties of these diseases and mimicking features on 99mTc-MDP bone scans rendered differential diagnosis difficult but necessary. We believe that the rarely known imaging features of the reported diseases will undoubtedly help nuclear medicine physicians make differential diagnoses in clinical practice.
