Identifying an Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma Using 4DCT in a Pediatric Patient with Persistent Primary Hyperparathyroidism
We present a case of an ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma detected with 4-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) in a patient with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism and failed neck exploration. We discuss the utility of 4DCT in the localization of these lesions and offer an algorithm that implements the use of 4DCT early on when standard imaging techniques are nonlocalizing.
متن کاملHyperparathyroidism related to an ectopic parathyroid adenoma
A 46-year-old female with a history of muscle weakness, nephrolithiasis and peptic ulcer. She was found to have hypercalcemia (115 mg/l), hypophosphoremia (16 mg/l) and increased PTH serum level (1090 pg/l). In order to discriminate between PH and pseudohyperparathyroidism, a solid-phase, two site chemiluminescent enzyme-labeled immunometric assay directed towards the intact PTH molecule was us...
متن کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism caused by mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma.
A 37-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, China in July 2009 with pain in the upper back and hip for 9 months. She denied any chronic medication or illness. Her serum calcium level was 2.73 mmol/L (reference range [RR], 2.082.60 mmol/L), phosphorus 0.68 mmol/L (RR, 0.811.62 mmol/L), alkaline phosphatase 366 IU/L (RR, 30-...
متن کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism: fifth parathyroid intrathymic adenoma in a young patient.
The clinical case described in this paper deals with a young female patient affected by primary hyperparathyroidism caused by an ectopic parathyroid adenoma of a supernumerary intrathymic parathyroid. The patient had hypercalcemia, in association with increased levels of parathormone, but was otherwise asymptomatic. Genetics tests for mutation of the MEN1, HRPT2, and CaSR genes were negative. S...
متن کاملSPECT-CT in the localization of an ectopic retropharyngeal parathyroid adenoma as a cause for persistent primary hyperparathyroidism.
A common cause for surgical failure of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the non-detection of an ectopic adenoma during the intervention. We present a case of a patient with pHPT in whom an ectopic gland was found in the right retropharyngeal space by means of a double phase (99m)Tc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy and early SPECT-CT after several surgeries and imagin...
