title: Unexplained transient splenic uptake of Tc-99m MDP in bronchogenic carcinoma.
abstract: A patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung had splenic uptake of Tc-99m MDP on two consecutive bone scans, but not on a third. There was no intervening therapy. At autopsy the spleen was grossly and microscopically normal.
