ABSTRACT
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a highly aggressive disease that is geographically clustered, mirroring areas endemic for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 infection. Most patients with ATLL present with aggressive manifestations such as severe hypercalcemia, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and bone marrow involvement with progressive thrombocytopenia. We herein report a case of a patient with ATLL exhibiting increased uptake in both lungs as shown on a bone scan using 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate. This finding is thought to have been caused by metastatic calcification associated with ectopic parathyroid hormone production.
