Abstract

Asymmetrical uptake of 99m Tc MDP (methylene diphosphonate) in skeletal scintigraphy in extremity may lead to confusion in the diagnosis of metastasis or complex regional pain syndrome. After the exclusion of possible contamination in this report a case was presented with asymmetrical uptake of MDP in the upper extremity from accidental intra-arterial injection.
