Inguinoscrotal Herniation of a Bladder Diverticulum on [Tc99m]-Methylene-Diphosponate (MDP) Bone Scan Diagnosed with SPECT/CT

Abstract

Ka Kit Wong, Benjamin L. Viglianti and Milton D. Gross

Inguinoscrotal hernias that contain bladder diverticulae are a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 85 yearold man with intense radioactivity overlying the left pubic tubercle on [Tc99m]-methylene-diphosponate (MDP) bone scan. SPECT/CT imaging established the diagnosis of excreted urinary radioactivity within a large herniated bladder diverticulum. SPECT/CT is a useful technique for evaluation of non-osseous uptake on [Tc99m]-MDP bone scintigraphy
