Case report shows diffuse gastric uptake and metabolic superscan findings in multiple myeloma, indicating altered bone metabolism.
Metastatic calcification is characterized by abnormal deposition of calcium in extraosseous tissues resulting from disruption of calcium-phosphorus homeostasis.It occurs without tissue damage and is usually seen in normal organs.It is most commonly observed in patients with chronic renal failure, paraneoplastic hypercalcemia, and vitamin D intoxication.Metabolic superscan is characterized by diffusely increased skeletal activity with suppressed renal visualization, often without soft-tissue involvement.This pattern reflects altered radiotracer biodistribution secondary to severe metabolic bone turnover.We report a case of multiple myeloma in which diffuse 99m Tc-MDP uptake was observed in the stomach on a metabolic superscan.
