Unilateral focal areas of intense, increased renal uptake of Tc-99m oxidronate sodium (technetium-99m HDP) were incidentally detected in the bone scan of a female patient who subsequently gave a history of recent trauma to her flank. Increased renal parenchymal uptake of Tc-99m HDP in this patient was thought to be due to kidney contusion. The case is interesting in itself and for its possible implications regarding the use of radio-labeled phosphate compounds for detection of renal contusion.
