Abstract When examined using bone scanning agents, eight out of nine patients with lower limb malignancy, and neither of two affected in the upper limb showed a pathologic focus of isotope uptake in an area distal to the tumor. On pathologic examination the positive findings proved false. Such misleading results were found to be avoidable if a tumor-seeking agent instead of a bone scanning one is used.
