Here we report a rare case of ectopic parathyroid adenoma located in the left submandibular area. The lesion was successfully detected and localized by the Tc-MIBI parathyroid scan. It was unremarkable in the anterior image of the neck, but was clearly demonstrated on the oblique view. Subsequently, this parathyroid adenoma was resected rapidly and safely with the guide of an intraoperative gamma probe.

Radioguided surgery in primary hyperparathyroidism.
UNLABELLED Surgical neck exploration is usually made in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Localization of the adenoma or detection of hyperplasia may reduce the operation period and limit the extent of the surgery. In this study the effficacy of preoperative Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six patients with PHPT had preoperative T...
متن کاملSignificance of MIBI scintigraphy in a patient with hydatid cyst and parathyroid adenoma
A 17-year-old boy with hyperparathyroidism exhibited a large cyst in the left hemi-thorax on his chest X-ray. The cyst was identified as a hydatid cyst. He was referred for biphasic methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (MIBI) parathyroid scan. A discrete ectopic parathyroid was detected in the left upper mediastinum in addition to accumulation of the MIBI tracer in the cyst wall. Using radio-guided occu...
متن کاملThe Role of Intraoperative Gamma Probe and Parathyroid Hormone Measurement in the Localization of Intrathyroidal Parathyroid Adenoma
In this case, we would like to introduce a case with intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma in which planar Tc-99m scintigraphy and intraoperative gamma probe were insufficient but single photon emission computed tomography imaging and intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement were helpful in localizing the adenoma.

BACKGROUND Freehand single photon emission computed tomography (fSPECT) is a three-dimensional (3-D) tomographic imaging modality based on data acquisition with a handheld detector that is moved freely, in contrast to conventional, gantry-mounted gamma camera systems. In this pilot study, we evaluated the feasibility of fSPECT for intraoperative 3-D mapping in patients with parathyroid adenomas...

BACKGROUND Technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy has become one of the most popular techniques for localization of the parathyroid gland after failure of primary neck exploration. OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of sestamibi with the hand-held gamma ray detecting probe for the identification of parathyroid adenomas during revision parathyroidectomy. METHODS We reviewed six cases of probe-...
