Abstract
Metastatic calcification within soft tissue, such as the lung and stom ach, is associated with hyperparathyroidism, chronic renal failure, he modialysis, metastatic neoplasm and hypervitaminosis D. Bone scanning agents variably accumulate within these extraskeletal metastatic calci fications. We report a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism whose bone scan revealed abnormal uptake in the liver, lung, stomach and par athyroid gland followed by complete resolution of extraskeletal uptake less than 1 wk after parathyroidectomy.
