Multiple metastatic calcifications detected by bone scintigraphy and demonstrated by CT.

Abstract:

:Metastatic calcifications according to histopathologic and scintigraphic findings have been well-defined. The authors report a postoperative case of hyperparathyroidism with multiple metastatic calcifications in the lung, kidney, stomach, heart, and vessels that were primarily detected by bone scintigraphy and demonstrated by CT. Tc-99m MDP bone scintigraphy showed a markedly increased accumulation of radioactivity diffusely throughout the lung, left ventricular wall, both kidneys, and the gastric cardia and body. In the lung, plain films showed almost normal lung. CT, however, demonstrated patchy, slightly increased densities in the lung bilaterally. Cardiac CT indicated a considerably increased density of the ventricular myocardium and remarkable calcification in or near the atrioventricular septum or annulus fibrosus. Upper abdominal CT demonstrated increased densities diffusely throughout the gastric mucosa and renal cortex. Only vascular calcifications were depicted by plain films. Using both bone scintigraphy and CT provides accurate information about each lesion and each tissue, allowing precise diagnosis of even a questionable lesion in the early stage of metastatic calcification. Early diagnosis and early therapy offer the best chance for cure or palliative therapy.
