To prevent this malignant and dangerous disease from progressing, early and differential diagnoses are very critical. A combination of dimercaptosuccinic acid and pentavalent 99mTc under alkaline conditions, 99mTc (V)-DMSA, can be used for malignant tumors' early diagnosis and prognosis. The 99mTc (V)-DMSA radiotracer is most commonly used for follow-up of medullary thyroid cancer metastases, but it is also successful in lung cancer and other malignancies. In this case, a 65-year-old woman with a recent history of nonproductive cough and mild dyspnea and suspicious small masses of lungs in computed tomography was selected for imaging with 99mTc (V)-DMSA to evaluate the condition of radiotracer uptake in the lung masses. The whole-body and single-photon emission computed tomography imaging with semiquantitative analysis showed abnormal uptakes in the lesions and the patient underwent to transbronchial biopsy and bronchial washing cytology that confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1809053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,6]],"date-time":"2025-05-06T19:07:17Z","timestamp":1746558437000},"page":"369-372","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Case of Lung Cancer Unexpectedly Detected with 99mTc (V)-DMSA Whole-Body\/SPECT Imaging"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Esmaeil","family":"Gharepapagh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Development Unit of Tabriz Valiasr Hospital, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Medical School, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leila","family":"Namvar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2746-6594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sahar","family":"Rezaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Development Unit of Tabriz Valiasr Hospital, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Nuclear Medicine, Medical School, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"03","key":"ref1","first-page":"209","article-title":"Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries","volume":"71","author":"H Sung","year":"2021","journal-title":"CA Cancer J Clin"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14300","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-14513-7","article-title":"Incidence and mortality of lung cancer: global trends and association with socioeconomic status","volume":"7","author":"M CS Wong","year":"2017","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1016\/j.thorsurg.2014.12.003","article-title":"National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) clinical practice guidelines for lung cancer screening","volume":"25","author":"D E Wood","year":"2015","journal-title":"Thorac Surg Clin"},{"issue":"06","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"759","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semnuclmed.2022.04.004","article-title":"[18F]FDG-PET\/CT Radiomics and Artificial Intelligence in Lung Cancer: Technical Aspects and Potential Clinical Applications","volume":"52","author":"R Manafi-Farid","year":"2022","journal-title":"Semin Nucl Med"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref5","first-page":"229","article-title":"Role of 18F-FDG PET\/CT in establishing new clinical and therapeutic modalities in lung cancer.
