Negative 99mTc-MIBI uptake in a parathyroid carcinoma: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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 neck and mediastinum in planar and SPECT images. The patient underwent surgery and histopathology confirmed parathyroid carcinoma. To extent of our knowledge, this is one of few cases of negative 99mTc-MIBI uptake parathyroid carcinoma were reported.

Absent 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 کامل99mTc-MIBI scan in mammary Pagets disease: a case report.
Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) uptake is known to be increased in breast cancer because of increased blood flow from angiogenesis and heightened metabolism. We performed a 99mTc-MIBI scan in a patient with mammary Paget's disease. The patient had underlying invasive cancer in the same side of the breast. 99mTc-MIBI scan exhibited a scintigraphic image of the uptake from t...

We reported a 71 years old woman, with history of rest and postural tremor, bradykinesia and memory problems. In her dynamic MRI, a contrastenhanced tumor in the cerebellopontine (CP) angle was found which was compatible with a meningioma. 99mTc-TRODAT SPECT showed decreased activity in the left putamen, indicating idiopathic Parkinson disease. There was also a focus of increased activity on th...

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, ...

متن کاملNon-functioning parathyroid carcinoma: a case report
BACKGROUND Non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma is a rare disease that is difficult to distinguish from other diseases based on the lack of hyperparathyroidism. This is a report of non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma diagnosed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting parathyroid hormone (PTH) messenger RNA. CASE PRESENTATION The patient is a 67-year-old male wh...
