Scintigraphic findings in necrotizing myopathy

Clin Nucl Med. 2003 Feb;28(2):118-20. doi: 10.1097/01.RLU.0000048484.23198.E8.

Abstract

Necrotizing myopathy is a rare syndrome associated with several causes, including non-small-cell lung carcinoma. The authors present a case of this infrequently occurring disease, describe an unusual scintigraphic pattern, and show tracer uptake localized in soft tissues rather than the skeleton.
