The aim of this study is to identify and describe the computed tomography and scintigraphic imaging patterns of osseous metastasis from invasive lobular breast cancer ( ILC ). Materials and methods CT and skeletal scintigraphy ( SS ) studies of 23 patients with diagnosis of ILC and osseous metastasis on their initial presentation were reviewed. Results Osseous metastases in 14 patients (60.8%) appear as uniform small sclerotic lesions ( USSL ) on CT scan. The SS in these patients were interpreted as negative for metastasis (either normal or with some equivocal findings not typical for metastasis). Conclusion Osseous metastasis from ILC can have a characteristic imaging pattern on CT and SS . The pattern of USSL on CT scan with negative SS is highly suggestive of osseous metastasis from ILC .
