A 37-yr-old man presented with increasing abdominal girth and multiple palpable intra-abdominal masses 3 yr after colectomy for polyposis coli. Whole-body skeletal scintigraphy performed prior to laparotomy demonstrated diffuse abdominal uptake of {sup 99m}Tc-HDP consistent with mesenteric fibromatosis confirmed at surgery. When diffuse abdominal uptake of skeletal imaging agents occurs in patients with prior colectomy for polyposis coli, mesenteric fibromatosis as a manifestation of Gardner`s syndrome should be suspected. This case illustrates another cause of diffuse abdominal uptake of skeletal imaging agents. 15 refs., 3 figs.
