一位有過結核淋巴炎的45歲女性接受肩膀和胸骨腫塊切片。微生物分析顯示非結核分枝桿菌。全身骨骼掃描顯示多部位骨骼侵犯。經過五個月的治療，臨床情況改善，接續做的骨骼掃描顯示之前受影響的部位的確有所緩解。骨骼掃描在結核骨髓炎可用來界定影響範圍、選擇微生物取樣分析部位以及監利治療效果。

A 45-year-old female with a history of tuberculous lymphadenitis received shoulder and sternal mass biopsy. Microbiological analysis demonstrated non-tuberculosis mycobacteria. The whole body bone scan revealed multiple bone involvement. After a 5-month treatment, clinical parameters showed improvement and a subsequent bone scan showed consistent resolution of the previously noted bone lesions. In conclusion, bone scan is a good tool for tuberculous osteomyelitis for defining disease extent, choosing sites for microbiological biopsy analysis and monitoring treatment response.
