Giant parathyroid adenomas are uncommon. Its clinical management is challenging. Our study’s goal to share our experience with pre-operative localization of while emphasizing the importance intraoperative hormone (IOPTH) assays in such situations. Here, we present case a 46-year-old woman who was diagnosed adenoma. The aspects, management, and surgical procedure have all been examined. Parathyr...

Abstract Parathyroid scintigraphy is an imaging technique that uses gamma-emitting radionuclide to locate hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism. It valuable for preoperative assessment before parathyroidectomy, which a curative surgery most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism and some secondary There are several different techniques scintigraphy. In general, ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism is predominantly caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. Knowledge of normal and ectopic locations of parathyroid glands is crucial to help guide surgeons who plan targeted unilateral parathyroidectomy to reduce surgical time and risk. We describe a female patient with clinical primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent a failed initial parathyroidectomy, with subsequ...

Background: Spontaneous haemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma is a rare and potentially life-threatening presentation. Case presentation: We report the case of a 45 year old female recently diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism who presented with chest discomfort and acute airway compromise due to spontaneous extracapsular haemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma. Computed tomography (CT) i...

Preoperative imaging studies have an important role in facilitating successful localization of adenomas for surgeons. Their use has increased and parallels the recent growth of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Based on findings that scintigraphy is reported to have the highest accuracy for localization of adenomas when compared with anatomic imaging techniques, this article discusses the c...

The author reviewed present status and progress of endocrine nuclear medicine including thyroid, parathyroid, adrenocortical, adrenomedullary and somatostatin receptor imaging and also radionuclide therapy of Basedow's disease, metastatic foci of post-operative thyroid cancer and malignant neural crest tumor. Relatively new imaging agents include 99mTc-MIBI and 99mTc-tetrofosmin for parathyroid...

This case describes a patient with parathyroid adenoma presenting dysphagia and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus without demonstrating lesion on imaging. The was detected during surgical exploration excised which resulted in the normalization of calcium sodium levels led to symptomatic relief from dysphagia.

A 37-year-old male with a persistent increased parathyroid hormone level, after subtotal thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy, was referred for scintigraphic localization of a possible ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Tc-99m pertechnetate and Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy were performed on separate days. There was marked uptake of both tracers in the mediastinum, which at surgery was confirmed to be an e...
