Erdheim-Chester disease detected with 99mTc MDP bone SPECT/CT.
[erdheim-chester disease]
Erdheim-
Chester
disease
(
ECD
)
is
a
rare
non-
Langerhans
'
cell
histiocytosis
.
Mild
but
permanent
juxta-articular
bone
pain
in
mainly
knees
and
ankles
is
the
most
frequent
associated
symptom
.
Despite
the
pathognomonic
radiographic
findings
,
most
cases
are
still
diagnosed
by
the
pathologist
.
The
lesions
consist
of
lipid-storing
CD
68
+
/
CD
1
a--non-
Langerhans
'
cell
histiocytes
,
most
frequently
localized
in
bone
but
also
involving
multiple
organ
systems
in
the
body
.
We
present
a
case
report
in
which
the
diagnosis
of
ECD
was
established
with
99
mTc
MDP
bone
SPECT
/
CT
.
