Résumé
Disorders of the scapulothoracic articulation can cause significant pain, as well as an audible "snapping" or crepitus in advanced cases. Although radiography, CT, and MRI are used in the diagnosis of these conditions, little is known about their manifestations on nuclear imaging. We present a case of symmetric uptake at the inferior scapulothoracic articulations mimicking metastatic disease on a staging bone scan. Recognition of this pattern of activity is not only important to accurately exclude malignancy, but also to aid referring providers in addressing potential causes of patient morbidity.
