Abstract
A case of a 43-year-old man suffering from pleural mesothelioma with distan t bone metastasis is reported. The results of bone scintigraphy and NMR fin dings allowed the diagnosis. The current case describes a hematogenous meta stasis to the pelvis and vertebral column from a malignant pleural mesothel ioma that was detected initially by bone scintigraphy.
