ABSTRACT
Monostotic Paget's disease of the patella was detected with Tc-99m MDP and Tl-201 scans. Diffuse intense uptake of MDP in the left patella was observed on the blood-pool and late phases of the bone scan. Tl-201 imaging was performed to differentiate a malignant process and showed diffuse marked accumulation at the same site. Semiquantitative analysis of the patella region on both Tc-99m MDP and Tl-201 scans did not support a diagnosis of cancer. Radiographs showed the features of Paget's disease of the bone. Findings of a pathologic evaluation were compatible with the diagnosis of osteitis deformans. This case represents the unusual skeletal involvement of monostotic Paget's disease of the bone in the patella. Tl-201 accumulation in the Paget's lesion was suggested to be caused by increased metabolic activity of the lesion but was not indicative of a malignant process.
