Abstract

Multiple osteochondromatosis can become malignant in 20% of the cases, this being more common when the lesion is multiple than when it is solitary. A male patient with multiple osteochondromatosis who had several local recurrences of secondary chondrosarcoma and who is still under follow-up by the Nuclear Medicine Department is presented.

The bone scintigraphy (BS) findings were compared with the histopathologic results, and the importance of the patient's symptoms was verified when a sarcomatous transformation is suspected.

The BS has the potential to detect malignization of the benign bone lesions. It also makes it possible to obtain whole-body images in a single examination, this being very useful to detect the presence of new bone lesions.

Resumen

La osteocondromatosis múltiple puede malignizar hasta en un 20% de los casos, siendo mucho más frecuente que cuando la lesión es solitaria. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con osteocondromatosis múltiple que ha presentado varias recidivas locales de un condrosarcoma secundario en años sucesivos y que sigue controles gammagráficos en nuestro servicio.

Los hallazgos de la gammagrafía ósea se compararon con los resultados anatomopatológicos y se comprobó la importancia de la sintomatología del paciente ante la sospecha de transformación sarcomatosa. La gammagrafía ósea puede aportar datos sobre la posible malignización de las lesiones benignas y permite obtener imágenes de cuerpo completo en una sola exploración, siendo muy útil ante la aparición de nuevas lesiones.
