[Bone and vascular gammagraphy in the study of primary bone neoplasms. Diagnostic value and monitoring of clinical course. Review of 50 cases].

Fifty patients with bone primary tumors (multiple myeloma, osteogenic sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, giant cell tumor, and others) were studied gammagraphically after injecting 555 MBq of 99mTc-MDP. Eighty per cent of the cases were found in long bones, specially femur and tibia. These two bones were the preferent localization of osteosarcomas. Ewing's neoplasms were mostly diaphysial and osteoclastomas epiphysial.
