Transient intense gastric fixation of 99mTc-MDP.
A case is described of reversible, intense gastric uptake of 99mTc-MDP in the fundal region of a patient with myeloma, while very little transient pulmonary fixation was seen. The significance of this unusual finding in terms of relevant blood chemistry, results of gastric biopsies, which failed to show metastatic calcification, and the drugs administered is discussed.
