Tumoral calcinosis: accumulation of bone-seeking tracers in the calcium deposits.

Rapid and preferential uptake of 47 calcium 87m Strontium by the multinodular calcareous masses was seen in a patient with tumoral calcinosis. Using 87m Strontium, scintigraphic imaging of the tumors was achieved, while the skeleton was barely visible. More intense accumulation of 87m Sr. in one tumor suggested a higher rate of calcium depostion. This was in agreement with the observation that this tumor showed less tendency to decrease in size during calcium and phosphorus deprivation therapy. Quantitative measurements of the uptake of bone seeking tracers by the tumors may be of value in estimating calcium turnover in the calcified masses.[1]
