A strikingly similar, massive, soft-tissue localization of /sup 99m/Tc-MDP is described in three patients who had tumoral calcinosis, milk-alkali syndrome, and chronic renal failure, respectively. Although the basic mechanism for this phenomenon is unknown, some derangement of calcium and phosphate metabolism was present in all three cases.
