Abstract

Metastatic pulmonary calcification associated with hypercalcemia or renal failure is well known but isinfrequently diagnosed antemortem because of unsatisfactory radiographic detection of microscopic calcification.The bone scintigraphy may be a valuable adjunct to the diagnosis of metastatic pulmonary calcification. Theauthors report a case of metastatic pulmonary calcification associated with malignant lymphoma and renal failure,and characteristic scintigraphic pattern. The clinical, pathological and radiographical findings are reviewed.
