RESUMEN

Scintigraphy using Tc-99m MDP and Tl-201 was performed in a patient with polyostotic Paget's disease and sarcomatous degeneration in the right iliac bone. Tc-99m MDP imaging showed abnormal uptake in both types of lesions. Tl-201 imaging showed increased uptake in the sarcomatous lesion and absent uptake in pagetic lesions. This result supports the idea that Tl-201 scintigraphy may have a potential role to play in the differentiation of Paget's disease from malignancy. To the authors' knowledge, Tl-201 has never been reported for the detection of sarcomatous change of pagetic bone.
