Summary— The scintigrams and radiographs of 32 patients with renal carcinoma were reviewed. False negative skeletal scintigrams were observed in four of 12 symptomatic patients with proven skeletal metastases from carcinoma of the kidney. A negative scintigram therefore does not exclude the possibility of skeletal metastases in this condition.
