Abstract

Seventy-eight-year-old female with a case of invasive ductal carcinoma presented with local recurrence. The whole body scan was done to evaluate distant metastasis and it showed uptake in the right kidney.

It is very rare for renal calculi to be seen on a bone scan as they do not take up the radioactive substances. It is unclear why this renal stone was shown in this bone scan.

The stone was not removed as the patient was asymptomatic and there is no hydronephrosis. She is being followed up in clinic.
