Incidental Bilateral Thighs Muscular Uptake of Technetium-99m MDP on Bone Scan in a Patient with Left Condylar Hyperplasia

Abstract

We present a case of a 22-year-old male patient who underwent a bone scan for evaluation of left condylar hyperplasia. Incidentally, the bone scan revealed bilateral thighs muscular uptake of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate, which initially raised concerns for an underlying pathological process. However, further investigation revealed that the abnormal uptake was due to postexercise effects. This case report highlights the importance of considering benign causes of abnormal radiotracer uptake and the need for careful correlation with clinical history to avoid unnecessary diagnostic interventions.
