Implications of unexpected diffuse lung uptake on a 99mTc-sestimibi parathyroid scan.
Diffuse (99m)Tc-sestimibi uptake in the lungs is a sign of serious pathology and merits further work-up. We present a case in which diffuse lung uptake was incidentally found on a parathyroid scan.
متن کاملNegative 99mTc-MIBI uptake in a parathyroid carcinoma: A case report
A 34 year old woman with malaise, polyuria and nocturia as well as nausea and vomiting referred to perform a thyroid scan due to right thyroid lobe mass. The scan showed a cold nodule in the right thyroid lobe. Serum calcium of 16.9, serum phosphorus of 1.8 and PTH of 1156 were noticed in laboratory tests. Parathyroid scan with 99mTc-MIBI showed no abnormal tracer activity in the nec...

متن کاملAbsent radiotracer uptake in thyroid gland in parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI: A case report
Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
متن کاملAbsent pulmonary uptake on 99mTc MAA perfusion lung scan due to severe right-to-left shunt.
c 5 XTRAPULMONARY accumulation of Tc macroaggregated albumin (MAA) is rarely een on perfusion lung scan, and has been reported n less than 4% of a study population of nearly 380 atients.1 It occurs when the agent bypasses the ungs due to a right-to-left (R-L) cardiac or pulonary shunt, when it is shunted to the portal vein efore reaching the right atrium and ventricle of he heart, and when the ...
