Abstract
A report is presented of a patient with mixed small and large cell lymphocytic lymphoma and extensive metastatic calcification of pulmonary elastic tissue. This was not detected on X-ray examination, but there was avid retention in both lung fields of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate after administration for bone scintigraphy.
