Abstract
The scintigraphic findings of a patient with characteristic clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features of congenital lipodystrophy were studied. Bone scan showed uniform increased bone uptake of Tc-99m MDP with markedly enhanced peri-articular activity and very prominent renal activity. Liver-spleen scan showed marked hepatosplenomegaly. This combination of scintigraphic abnormalities is unique in congenital lipodystrophy and constitutes a very interesting constellation of findings. Observed scintigraphic findings are compatible with previously described radiographic findings.
