A 57-year-old woman with a newly diagnosed lung cancer was referred for a bone survey as a part of cancer workup. An interesting finding on Tc-99m MDP bone scan was accumulation of radioactivity in the bowel, on account of self urine drinking before the imaging. Many people believe that drinking their own urine has a myriad of health benefits, nevertheless, none of which have been scientifically proven. Self urine drinking may cause radioactivity accumulated in the bowel on subsequent imaging, which needs to be distinguished from urinary diversion caused by various pathologies.
