[Role of bone gammagraphy in the diagnosis of secondary osteomalacia in a patient treated with tenofovir].

It is reported a HIV infected patient under antiretroviral therapy including tenofovir therapy who was referred to the Nuclear Medicine Department to complete bone pain study. A bone scan was performed at 3 hours after the injection of 740 MBq of 99mTc-MDP, revealing an abnormal distribution with characteristic changes compatible with osteomalacia. In further analysis, a secondary hyperparathyroidism and osteomalacia were diagnosed in the context of Fanconi syndrome, an infrequent complication described in patients under treatment with tenofovir.
