Abstract A bone scan and red blood cell scan in the rare epidermal naevus syndrome, associated with multiple haemangiomas of the bone and hypophosphataemic osteomalacia in a 20-year-old man are reported. The typical pattern of osteomalacia on the bone scan was associated with lesions of increased bone metabolism in the peripheral bones. The haemangiomas did not pool labelled red blood cells. Thus, the bone scan seems to be suitable for diagnosing the complete extent of haemangiomas in bone, but they could not be specifically proven by red blood cell pooling.
