PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to compare the uptake changes of Tc-99m 2-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) and Tc-99m pentavalent dimercaptosuccinic acid (V-DMSA) in multiple myeloma (MM) lesions in response to high-dose chemotherapy (HDC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors compared Tc-99m MIBI and Tc-99m V-DMSA scans before and after HDC in a patient with focal MM lesions without amyloidosis who had received previous standard chemotherapy as well.
RESULTS: HDC had the effect of eliminating all Tc-99m MIBI uptake in the lesions. Tc-99m V-DMSA uptake was increased in lesions presenting significant initial Tc-99m MIBI uptake. In 1 particular lesion that demonstrated this phenomenon, magnetic resonance showed necrosis of the area of MM.
CONCLUSION: The authors consider that the effect of increasing Tc-99m V-DMSA uptake in the absence of an increase in viable plasma cells possibly reflects the treatment-generated inflammatory and fibrotic changes and not necessarily viable tumor tissue. Exclusive focal Tc-99m V-DMSA uptake in this clinical setting could be considered as a sign of effectively treated lesions and not a sign of deterioration.
