Abstract
A man with poorly differentiated small-cell carcinoma of the lung pres ented with extensive metastases to the liver. A prechemotherapy bone s can (performed with 740 MBq Tc-99m MDP) revealed soft tissue uptake in two large liver metastases. The patient received four cycles of VP-16 and cisplatin, and the bone scan was repeated in 6 months. Uptake in liver metastases on bone imaging has been reported previously; this ca se documents precise correlation with two metastases on CT and dramati c reversal with improvement after chemotherapy.
