Fifty patients (43 male, 7 female, age 31-77 years) with single solid masses in their lungs based on the findings of a chest X-radiograph [40 malignancies: 5 small cell carcinoma (Ca), 17 epidermoid Ca, 12 adeno Ca, 6 undifferentiated large cell Ca] and 10 benign lesions underwent technetium-99m (V) dimercaptosuccinic acid [99m-(V)DMSA] scans to evaluate the usefulness of 99mTc-(V)DMSA in the detection of lung Ca with different cell types and benign lesions. Only 43% (17/40) of the malignancies in the lungs were detected by 99mTc-(V)DMSA, including 29% (5/17) epidermoid Ca, 50% (6/12) adeno Ca and 17% (1/6) undifferentiated large cell Ca of the lungs. However, all 5 cases of small cell Ca and 11 cases combined with bone metastasis were revealed by 99mTc-(V)DMSA. In addition, 3 of the 10 benign lesions (2 organizing pneumonias, 1 benign tumor) presented with an uptake of 99mTc-(V)DMSA. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 43%, 70% and 48%, respectively, in differentiating malignant from benign lesions for the single solid mass in the lungs. In conclusion, 99mTc-(V)DMSA is of little or no use in the differentiation of lung Ca from single solid masses in the lungs.
