Calciphylaxis is a rare devastating medical condition commonly associated with end-stage renal disease and characterized by extensive microvascular calcifications. We describe a case of calciphylaxis presenting on Tc-99m MDP bone scan imaging with asymmetric radiotracer uptake within the lower extremities corresponding to extensive soft tissue calcifications on Computed tomography. Familiarity with the classic clinical presentation and imaging features of this rare entity may help its early identification and treatment.
钙过敏是一种罕见的、严重的医学病症，通常与终末期肾病相关，其特征为广泛的微血管钙化。我们描述了一例在锝-99m亚甲基二膦酸盐（Tc-99m MDP）骨扫描成像中表现出的钙过敏病例，下肢放射性示踪剂摄取不对称，对应于计算机断层扫描显示的广泛软组织钙化。熟悉这种罕见病症的典型临床表现和影像学特征可能有助于其早期识别和治疗。
