In interpretation of bone scan special attention to patient’s clinical presentation and correlation with other lab and imaging modalities should be paid. In this report a patient with Erdheim Chester disease a rare and unusual form of lipidosis is presented and the pattern of 99mTc-MDP bone scan and other imaging modalities are discussed.
