Implications of unexpected diffuse lung uptake on a 99mTc-sestimibi parathyroid scan.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Negative 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 کاملUtility of 99mTc-Sestamibi SPECT/CT in the Early Localization of Metastatic Parathyroid Carcinoma
Parathyroid carcinoma is very rare, with only a few documented cases. Hence, metastatic lesions are infrequently documented on scintigraphic imaging. We present a case of a 63-year-old female presenting with elevated serum levels of ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) who was referred to our department for a parathyroid scan with SPECT/ CT. Parathyroid scintigraphy showed a focus of i...

Extraosseous accumulation of technetium-99m-methyl diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) on bone scan is not common. This phenomenon is often attributed to abnormality of calcium metabolism and has been reported in a variety of conditions including metabolic diseases and malignancies. A five years old boy is presented here, who was admitted to the pediatric emergency suffering from fatigue, respiratory sym...

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...

A 57 years old man was diagnosed by histology of left axillary node as having diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Laboratory investigations revealed hypercalcemia with serum calcium level of 2.9mol/L (normal range: 2.08-2.60). Other blood examinations including complete blood count, coagulation markers, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), liver and renal function and electrolytes other than calcium wer...
