Abstract
The advent of improved chemotherapy has changed the natural course of osteosarcoma. The role of bone scintigraphy in the workup of metastatic osteosarcoma is being re-evaluated. Extra-osseous osteogenic sarcoma metastases, particularly pulmonary metastases, are known to accumulate bone-avid agents. In this case, there is also uptake by noncalcified metastases to the brain and to soft tissues of the leg and arm which has not been previously reported. Correlation with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is made.
