Abstract: Technetium polyphosphate uptake by breast tumours has been investigated in 69 patients. Although 70 per cent (38 out of 54) of malignant tumours took up the isotope in comparison with 45 per cent (5 out of 11) of benign lesions, this technique would be unreliable for diagnostic purposes.

A total of 2530 consecutive bone scans were examined to evaluate the number and the type of soft tissue neoplasms detected with bone-seeking phosphonates. Sixty-eight primary or secondary soft tissue neoplasms of 63 patients accumulated 99mTc -methylene diphosphonate and 2 accumulated 99mTc -diphosphonate, and one metastasis was seen as a nonactive 'cold' focus in the urinary bladder. The localization of tumors was: 19 in the lung, 15 in the liver, 11 in the kidney, 10 in the peritoneal cavity or ascites, 5 in the large bowel, 4 in the vascular or lymphatic system, 3 in the connective tissue or muscles, 2 in the ovary, 1 in the urinary bladder, and 1 in the brain. Our results differ in many respects from those reported in the literature. The causes of the differences are discussed.
