The patient with the lung cancer with a known pelvic metastasis was presented to the clinic. Previous computed tomography studies have shown a large expansile destrictive lesion in the left ilium, which has been treated with radiation therapy. During this examination, markedly increased uptake is seen in the pelvis at the site of the patients known tumor. A linear area of increased uptake is seen extending from the calvarium to the right leg, most intense at the two ends of the line, and apparent on the anterior view only.
