Abstract:
A 66 year-old man with chronic renal failure developed hypercalcaemia during acetolyte medication. A technetium-99m phosphate bone scan at this time showed extraosseous isotope uptake in the stomach, which disappeared 2 weeks later after normalisation of the serum calcium level. This phenomenon can be interpreted as transient metatastic calcification during hypercalcaemia.
