Parathyroid adenoma mimicking cervical recurrence on CT/PET fusion scan.

چکیده
The patient was treated with primary chemoradiation. Six months following the completion of treatment, he was found to have fullness of the right tonsillar fossa. A right tonsillectomy for biopsy purposes revealed squamous cell carcinoma. A composite resection of the right oropharynx with neck dissection and fibular free-flap reconstruction was performed. Metastatic lymph nodes were not found in the surgical specimen, and the surgical margins were clear around the primary tumor.

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...
متن کاملCervical Lymph Node Sarcoidosis Mimicking a Parathyroid Adenoma: A Clinical Case
We report a case of cervical lymph node sarcoidosis misdiagnosed as parathyroid adenoma. This is the second case described in the literature in which lymph node sarcoidosis was misdiagnosed as parathyroid adenoma on Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scan, the first case localized in the neck. A 64-year-old woman presented with a hypercalcemia. Neck ultrasonography revealed a paratracheal hypoechoic mass ...

Background. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is used in clinical practice above all other tests to define the status of oncological disease. The predominant use of PET/CT is due to its use of Ffluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to map cellular glucose metabolism. Some benign clinical 18 conditions are also detected with FDG-PET/CT. These include inflammatory or hypermetabolic pro...

Bladder herniation is an uncommon condition mimicking suspicious metastasis on PET/CT imaging. We report a 67 y/o man with prostate cancer referred for recurrence evaluation with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT. The scan showed an asymmetric site of intense tracer accumulation in the left inguino-scrotal region with the same SUVmax to the pelvic bladder. Reviewing cross sectional CT i...

Three cases of metabolic bone disease in the setting of metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) are illustrated with associated etiopathologies. One of these cases harbored mixed lesions in the form of vertebral metastasis (biopsy proven) while the other skeletal lesions were caused due to metabolic bone disease related to multiple parathyroid adenomas. While the metastatic lesion was positive o...
