Abstract

A 43-year-old female known case of Systemic Lupus Erythematous was presented with chief complaints of pain and morning stiffness in her joints since 3 months ago. Her pain was intensified after Covid-19 pneumonia. She was referred to our nuclear medicine center to rule out active arthritis with three-phase bone scan. An interesting finding was abnormal large tracer accumulation in the pelvis, which was proved to be due to myoma.
