Introduction: Brown tumor or lesions resembling giant cell tumor is a rare sequel of hyperparathyroidism and occasionally affect jaw bones. Brown tumor is three times more common in women as compared to men. Mandible is more frequently involved than maxilla. Parathyroidectomy to control HPT is the treatment of choice for brown tumor. Case report: This paper describes a rare case report of brown...

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of double phase Tc sestamibi scintigraphy in the assessment of parathyroid glands in patients with hyperparathyroidism and to compare this method with the high-resolution ultrasonography. Methods: From August-1998 through August-2000, we performed Tc -MIBI scintigraphy (MIBI) and neck ultrasonography in 35 patients who wer...

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to assess the integrated role of scintigraphy by Tc99m MIBI in diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma and its impacts on the myocardium, and to evaluate whether myocardium perfusion gated SPECT study could be a complementary routine workup for patient with positive parathyroid adenoma on Tc99m MIBI parathyroid scan. Methods: Rest myocardium perfusion gated ...

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...
