Severe Idiopathic Hypercalcemia In A Young Female Demonstrated On Skeletal Scintigraphy

摘要

A 30 year old female developed nodules on the extensor services of the forearms, knees and back and was noted to have hypercalcemia. Skeletal scintigraphy demonstrated increased uptake throughout the lung fields diffusely and in multiple joints. Multiple investigations were unsuccessful in revealing a cause of the hypercalcemia but confirmed widespread organ calcification. This case is unusual due to the young age of the patient, severity of manifestations on imaging techniques and the lack of an underlying aetiology.
