ABSTRACT
A 49-year-old woman with invasive ductal carcinoma of the right breast underwent Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy for an evaluation of skeletal metastases. Multiple focal hot spots in the midline and left frontoparietal skull region were observed. The plain radiographs revealed the typical findings of the calcification of the falx cerebri and dura. These findings might be mistaken for metastases of the skull in cancer patients. Therefore, a radiographic correlation is essential when multifocal hot spots in the skull are observed in cancer patients.
