Abnormal focal 99mTc-DMSA uptake in the lung--report of two cases

Nucl Med Rev Cent East Eur. 2014;17(1):35-7. doi: 10.5603/NMR.2014.0008.

Abstract

Extrarenal uptake of 99mTc-DMSA is a rare finding, which has been described in some unusual conditions as bone metastasis, aortic aneurysm and hemangioma. The purpose of this report is to present two cases of abnormal 99mTc-DMSA uptake in the lungs, which remained unexplained even after radiologic assessment.
