Bone scintigraphy in mycobacterium avium osteomyelitis: a case report.

A 30-year-old woman who had a destructive Mycobacterium avium complex infection in the left inguinal fossa affecting the pubic bone underwent three-phase bone scanning to identify other possibly affected sites. Multiple skeletal lesions were seen scattered throughout the vertebral column, sternum, and pelvis. This case is presented to describe a rare extensive metastatic M. avium complex infection in an immunocompromised patient.
