“…As described in the literature,[11121314] pathologically changed soft tissues may accumulate bone-seekers. Analogously, it can be expected that the lacrimal gland, especially affected with a malignant or inflammatory disease, could be a source of such an activity enhancement.…”

Enhanced accumulation of the radiotracer at superior lateral orbital margin is a common finding in bone scintigraphy. Its possible sources are discussed and illustrated with examples from own archive of the authors as well as from the literature. These sources include: Physiologically enhanced bone metabolism at frontozygomatic suture (normal variant), a metastasis at this suture (illustrated with an example of solitary metastasis from prostate cancer), lesions to the zygomatic bone or the greater wing of the sphenoid bone, deepened fossa for lacrimal gland and the gland itself.

“…One should keep in mind, however that typically located kidneys project to the lower (particularly 12 th ) ribs; ribs in turn are a common location of bone metastases as well as traumatic injuries,[ 3 4 ] which are sources of hot spots in scintigraphy. In rare cases, bone seekers can be accumulated in (mainly metastatic) tumors of soft tissues,[ 5 6 7 ] including kidneys. [ 8 ]…”

Bone Scintigraphy Hot-Spot in Projection to Rib and Kidney: Role of Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography/Computer Tomography in Distinguishing a Urine Collection in Renal Calyx from a Metastasis to Rib

On planar bone scintigrams, activity enhancement foci in projection to kidney and lower ribs can arise from the kidney, or from bone lesions. A differentiation based only on the exact location and shape of the hot spot can sometimes be misleading, resulting in a false qualification of a rib metastatic lesion as urine collection in the kidney or opposite. The authors illustrate the problem with three cases: In two patients, such a hot spot appeared to be the solitary metastatic focus; in one, highly suggestive for solitary metastatic focus, it was proven to be a urine collection.
