Abstract We report a case of accidental local 99mTc‐MDP uptake in left lung on bone scan without pulmonary parenchymal abnormality on SPECT/CT. The abnormal uptake disappeared on repeated bone scan and SPECT/CT after 3 days. It is speculated that the high radioactivity focus is a microthrombus in pulmonary artery.
