Sr85m SCANS IN CHILDREN WITH EXTRAOSSEOUS PATHOLOGY

L. D. SAMUELS M.D.1

1 Radiobiologist and Chief, Radioisotope Laboratory, Children's Hospital; Assistant Professor of Pathology, Ohio State University College of Medicine, Columbus, Ohio.

Sr87m scannings were performed of all or parts of the skeleton of children with a variety of tumors not arising in bone. The presence of soft tissue malignancy contiguous to bone may evoke a malignant type Sr87m uptake pattern in bone even though the malignancy does not demonstrably involve bone.

Examples of malignancies of brain, neck, pelvis and foot which present with positive scans are illustrated as is the generalized abnormal uptake characteristic of acute leukemia.

Wider and earlier diagnostic use of the Sr87m skeletal scan in screening for cancer in children is suggested.
