Accumulation of 99mTc-Polyphosphate in Two Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Lung: Case Report

Accumulation of 99mTc-Polyphosphate in Two Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Lung: Case Report

Technetium-99m-polyphosphate was found to accumulate in two squamous cell carcinomas of the lung. In one case, microscopy and electron microscopy failed to demonstrate calcification in the tumor. Possible mechanism(s) of accumulation of polyphosphate in nonosseous tissues was reviewed.
