A critical evalution of imaging findings in parathyroid adenoma

Abstract

A 39-year-old woman with clinical and laboratory evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism underwent separate day dual tracer parathyroid scintigraphy. Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy revealed an intense focus at the lower pole of the right thyroid lobe on the early and late images. Thyroid scintigraphy demonstrated a hypoactive nodule in the lower pole of the right thyroid lobe. Findings of ultrasound examination corresponded with those of thyroid and parathyroid scintigraphies by showing a hypoechogenic thyroid nodule in the lower pole of the right thyroid bed. The patient underwent surgery and parathyroid adenoma localized on right lower pole of the thyroid gland extending posterior to anterior was removed. The authors report on a large parathyroid adenoma falsely leading to a thyroid nodule both on ultrasonography and thyroid scintigraphy.
