TC-99M UPTAKE IN A PARATHYROID ADENOMA - POTENTIAL PITFALL IN TC-99M/TL-201 SUBTRACTION IMAGING CLINICAL NUCLEAR MEDICINE Chen, C. C., Irony, I., JAFFE, G. S., NORTON, J. A. 1992; 17 (7): 539-541

Abstract

The authors describe a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism who had a large mediastinal parathyroid adenoma that avidly concentrated both Tc-99m pertechnetate and Tl-201. This unusual finding is presented as another potential reason for false-negative findings in Tc-99m/Tl-201 subtraction scintigraphy in hyperparathyroidism.
