We report a case of recurrent breast cancer with bone metastases, which were negative on skeletal bone survey or bone scintigram, and positive for whole body positron emission tomography (PET). A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of left cervical lymphb node metastases. She had undergone modified radical mastectomy for left breast cancer 17 months previously. Chest X-ray, routine head CT scan, abdominal ultrasound, GI tract examinations, skeletal bone survery, and bone sctintigra-phy were performed, but there were no abnormal findings except left cervical lymph node swelling. Whole body PET was performed. It revealed abnormal accumulation not only in the left supraclavicular area but also in the cervical spine, Th-spine and L-spine. MRI revealed typical bone metastases of the spine. Whole body PET was useful for detecting bone metastases in this case.
