Abstract
Abstract: Osteomas are benign osteogenic tumors that arise fromthe proliferation of cancellous or compact bone. Osteomas areusually found in craniofacial bones. Surgery is indicated only whenthe lesions exhibit cosmetic changes, become symptomatic, or growactively. The usefulness of Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy forosteoma has been reported previously. Herein, we report a 32-year-old woman with osteoma of the right temporal bone. Tc-99m MDPbone scintigraphy showed a typical uptake pattern at the tumor site,but no abnormal uptake was observed using F-18 FDG PET. Tc-99mMDP bone scintigraphy is more useful for localizing other sites andmeasuring activity than F-18 FDG PET.
