case_images: Planar bone scintigraphy performed after I.V. injection of technetium labeled MDP showing very mild increase in the L 2 vertebra prompted a hybrid SPECT-CT imaging of the lumbar spine. Post Left nephrectomy status is also noticed

case_images: Tomography (CT) imaging was performed. The planar imaging showed an area of mildly increased tracer uptake in the second lumbar vertebra [Figure 1].
case_images: Hybrid SPECT-CT images revealing cortical destruction of the L2 vertebra. The photopenic region in SPECT images corresponding to the site of destruction

case_images: Subsequent SPECT / CT imaging revealed a lytic lesion in the L2 vertebra, with increased uptake in the rest of the vertebral body; the findings more likely to be with metastatic involvement [Figure 2].
