Abstract
- Ga-67 scintigraphy demonstrated increased uptake in the lungs and stomach in a 26-year-old man with hypercalcemia. A primitive neuroectodermal tumor was confirmed by bone marrow examination. Tc-99m MDP uptake in the same locations as Ga-67 revealed by bone scintigraphy was consistent with metastatic calcification. Although the mechanism of Ga-67 uptake in metastatic calcification is not understood, the presence of an inflammatory process is suggested.
