چکیده

parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (phpt). skeletal system is significantly affected by phpt. brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mtc-mibi. we report a rare case of phpt presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99mtc-pertechnetate/99mtc-mibi subtraction, performed as a part of routine protocol, showed several brown tumors showing affinity for both 99mtc-pertechnetate and 99mtc-mibi. they were further characterized using hybrid spect/ct. to the best of our knowledge, 99mtc-pertechnetate affinity in brown tumors has not been previously described.

Atypical non-[99mTc]Tc-MIBI avid parathyroid adenoma with a sternal brown tumor, mimicking ectopic parathyroid adenoma in planar and SPECT images: Importance of SPECT/CT acquisition

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is defined by the excess level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid adenoma is responsible for about 80% of all pHPT. Parathyroid adenoma with cystic feature and atypical pathology is recognized as a rare entity. Technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile ([99mTc]Tc-MIBI) scintigraphy has favorable detection rate for ectopic gland as well as th...

Incremental diagnostic value of preoperative 99mTc-MIBI SPECT in patients with a parathyroid adenoma.

UNLABELLED The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of early parathyroid SPECT combined with quantitative analysis as compared with planar imaging in patients undergoing minimally invasive radioguided surgery. METHODS A total of 52 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism underwent planar and SPECT parathyroid scintigraphy 2-5 d before surgery. E...

Significance 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...

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...

99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in musculoskeletal tumors [Persian]

The aim of this study was to assess the value of 99mTc-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) scintigraphy in patients with clinical and radiologic features of primary or metastatic musculoskeletal tumors. Methods: The scintigraphic findings for 84 patients were compared with the surgical and histologic findings. Each patient underwent three-phase bone scan with 99mTc-methylene diphos...
