Abstract
We report the case of 19-year-old woman with severe hypercalcemia who was evaluated with a bone scan to exclude bone metastases. Increased uptake in both lungs was detected on the bone scan. The patient's final diagnosis was systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). There is no reported pattern of bone scanning in SLE, and diffuse lung uptake has not been reported in these patients.
