Abstract
Bone imaging using Tc-99m MDP was performed on a 68-year-old man with a newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the lung. The image unexpectedly showed increased activity in the heart area. Emergent echocardiography demonstrated impending pericardial tamponade. A malignant pericardial effusion was verified by pericardiocentesis.
