The parathyroid glands

Imaging, 2002
Diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism is based on biochemical findings.The combination of 99Tcm sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasound may provide the best diagnostic tool for localization of parathyroid tumours prior to initial exploration, or prior to re-operation for recurrent/persistent hyperparathyroidism.CT and MRI are particularly useful for ...

In one patient, hyperparathyroidism was documented; in another, studies were incomplete but the adenoma was probably functioning. Prior reports of similar lesions have been called "parathyroid hamartoma or parathyroid adenoma with myxoid stroma," and some ...
