Journal Article
Extensive metastatic vascular calcification in a patient with chronic renal failure and tubercular osteomyelitis as seen on F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography
2023
Overview
A 48-year-old male with known tubercular osteomyelitis of the left elbow and chronic renal failure presented with PTH independent hypercalcemia and underwent F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to look for any underlying malignancy that might be causing his hypercalcemia. The PET/CT did not reveal any malignancy, but extensive metastatic calcification of small- and medium-sized arteries was noted throughout the body with relative sparing of large vessels. Alkaline tissue such as lungs, gastric mucosa, and kidneys that are usually involved in metastatic calcification were also spared. The underlying pathology for this kind of metastatic calcification was most likely chronic granulomatous disease, which was tubercular osteomyelitis in this patient. We present the PET/CT scan images of this unusual case of metastatic vascular calcification.
