Abstract
We report a male patient who presented with suspicion of skeletal metastase s based upon an abnormal 99-mTc bone scan, which showed increased uptake at both femoral heads, left femoral neck, and several ribs. The images also s uggested reflex sympathetic dystrophy, subcapital fracture of the left femu r, and rib fractures. A diagnosis of hypophosphataemic osteomalacia was fin ally made.
