Metastatic calcification relates to abnormal calcification resulting from hypercalcaemia in otherwise normal tissues. Hypercalcaemia can occur secondary to chronic renal failure, hyperparathyroidism, hypervitaminosis D, and metastatic neoplasms. Specific symptoms are often lacking, but calcification may be a marker of disease severity and its chronicity. We present cases with different patterns of soft tissue calcification on Tc99m MDP bone scan.
转移性钙化是指在其他方面正常的组织中,由高钙血症导致的异常钙化。高钙血症可继发于慢性肾衰竭、甲状旁腺功能亢进、维生素D过多症和转移性肿瘤。通常缺乏特异性症状,但钙化可能是疾病严重程度及其慢性化的一个标志。我们展示了在锝99m亚甲基二膦酸盐(Tc99m MDP)骨扫描中出现不同软组织钙化模式的病例。
