Metastatic calcification relates to abnormal calcification resulting from hypercalcemia and can affect soft tissues, skeletal muscle, myocardium, lungs, stomach, kidneys, and blood vessels. We describe a case of metastatic pulmonary calcification in a 71-year-old male, images with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT and 99mTc- methylene diphosphonate (MDP) bone scan.
