Value of bone scan in the McCune-Albright syndrome. Report of a case
Abstract
Bone scintigraphy proved valuable in diagnosing McCune-Albright's syndrome in a 6-year-old girl by detecting multiple, non-symptomatic foci in the skull, axial skeleton and in the extremities. Subsequent roentgen examination showed abnormal bone structure in the affected areas, consistent with fibrous dysplasia.
