Candida osteomyelitis is an uncommon complication of immunosuppressive therapy. Its radiographic manifestations are similar to those of other relatively indolent infectious agents. We report the CT and MR findings in a patient who developed this condition following treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia, and review the imaging literature covering similar cases.

The authors report a case of metastatic breast carcinoma that on investigation was shown to have a negative bone scan in spite of multiple densely sclerotic metastases on radiography and CT and a positive bone biopsy. The literature is reviewed with regard to the subject of negative bone scans in this situation.
