Detection of ectopic parathyroid adenoma by early Tc-99m sestamibi imaging.

چکیده
Localization of Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas (PA) is well known. Typically the radionuclide washes out slowly from the PAs located in the neck. Rapid washout from some PAs has been reported. Various hypotheses have been postulated for slow and rapid clearance of MIBI from PAs, located in the neck. However, the washout of MIBI from ectopic parathyroid adenoma (EPA) in not well reported. We present a case of EPA with rapid washout of MIBI. Hence, early MIBI imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of EPA.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is defined by the excess level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma is responsible for about 80% of all pHPT. Parathyroid adenoma with cystic feature and atypical pathology is recognized as a rare entity. Technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy has favorable detection rate for ectopic gland as well as th...

The most common manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is hyperparathyroidism. Treatment of hyperparathyroidism in MEN patients is surgical removal of the parathyroid glands, however ectopic parathyroid gland is challenging for treatment. A 51-year-old female, the eldest of 3 MEN1 sisters, had hyperparathyroidism with ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the mediastinal para-aort...

A 37-year-old male with a persistent increased parathyroid hormone level, after subtotal thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, was referred for scintigraphic localization of a possible ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Tc-99m pertechnetate and Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy were performed on separate days. There was marked uptake of both tracers in the mediastinum, which at surgery was confirmed to be an e...

We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who had a severe hypercalcemia. Serum calcium, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), 1alpha, 25 (OH)(2 )vitamin D(3) levels were all elevated, and serum phosphorus level was decreased, which were all consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). (201)Tl/(99m)Tc subtraction scintigraphy failed to detect any abnormal accumulation in the neck and chest, ...

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of double phase Tc sestamibi scintigraphy in the assessment of parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism and to compare this method with the high-resolution ultrasonography. Methods: From August-1998 through August-2000, we performed Tc -MIBI scintigraphy (MIBI) and neck ultrasonography in 35 patients who wer...
