Mapelli P, Canevari C, Spinapolice EG and Gianolli L

A 55 years-old patient was treated in 2007 with left mastectomy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy for breast cancer, achieving complete response. Three years later, hepatic recurrence was detected and a planar 99Tc-MDP bone scintigraphy was performed to restage the disease and assess the presence of bone metastases.
