Parathyroid Localization With High-Resolution Ultrasound and Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi [PDF]
Archives of Surgery, 1999 High-resolution ultrasound and technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scanning can be used for preoperative localization of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism.Ultrasound and sestamibi scanning were performed in patients undergoing neck exploration for hyperparathyroidism.

Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi Sensitivity in Oxyphil Cell–Dominant Parathyroid Adenomas [PDF]
Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2006 A subset of parathyroid adenomas contains a relative overabundance of oxyphil cells that are capable of greater technetium Tc 99m sestamibi tracer uptake and retention than other cell types. We examined whether the presence of oxyphil cells augments the sensitivity of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi preoperative localization and whether the histologic ...

The Effectiveness of Radioguided Parathyroidectomy in Patients With Negative Technetium Tc 99m–Sestamibi Scans [PDF]
Archives of Surgery, 2009 Many surgeons have shown that radio-guided resection of parathyroid glands can facilitate intraoperative localization in selected patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, especially in the reoperative setting. However, in patients with negative technetium Tc 99m-sestamibi (hereafter referred to as "sestamibi") scans, the usefulness of the gamma probe

Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma Presenting as a Mediastinal Mass [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017 A parathyroid adenoma present in an ectopic site, in the anterior mediastinum, is a rare cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism. Though its occurrence in the mediastinum is unusual, existence has been noted in literature for more than a century.
