Abstract
Static renal scintigraphy with Tc-99m-DMSA is commonly used for the evaluation of renal morphology and function. Extrarenal uptake of Tc-99m-DMSA is a rare finding described previously on sites such as bone metastasis, hemangioma, and splenic amyloidosis. We report a case with Tc-99m-DMSA activity in the lungs.
