Incidental finding of Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy in a case of X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda

Clin Nucl Med. 2012 Feb;37(2):193-5. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0b013e31823e9d35.

Abstract

A 26-year-old male presented with a history of backache and multijoint pain over the preceding 15 years. Bone scintigraphy demonstrated a short spine in addition to abnormally increased activity in multiple joints. The patient was eventually diagnosed to have X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda.
