Abnormal pulmonary uptake of Ga-67 citrate and Tc-99m MDP and reversible liver uptake of Tc-99m MDP was seen in a patient with hypercalcemia of lymphoma and biopsy-proven metastatic pulmonary calcification. Abnormal lung uptake of Tc-99m MDP may confirm the diagnosis of pulmonary calcification, lessening the need for invasive procedures to evaluate pathologic lung uptake of Ga-67 citrate.
