Abstract:	Proposed mechanisms for extraosseous 99mTc - MDP uptake are extracellular fluid expansion, enhanced regional vascularity and permeability, and elevated tissue calcium concentration. It can be due to nonmalignant causes, such as parathyroid adenoma, vitamin D intoxication or Paget disease or can be of malignant origin. Malignant conditions are sometimes associated with a life-threatening hypercalcemia and metastatic calcifications.
