Findings: Bone scan with radiographic correlates: Diffuse increased uptake is noted throughout the soft tissues of the right leg. Focal increased uptake about the right knee is seen, involving the distal femur and proximal tibia. This corresponds to a destructive process seen on the radiographs. Increased uptake in the right ankle is also present, probably related to severe osteoporosis. |
Diagnosis: Epithelioid angiosarcoma of the right lower extremity |
