  • Title: A false-positive localization of a parathyroid adenoma with technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan secondary to a thyroid follicular carcinoma.
    Author: Koss WG, Brown MR, Balfour JF.
    Journal: Arch Surg; 1996 Feb; 131(2):216-7. PubMed ID: 8611082.
    Abstract:
    Using technetium Tc 99m sestamibi for localization of a parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism, we describe the first reported case of increased uptake due to a thyroid follicular carcinoma. Prior false-positive results have been reported exclusively with follicular adenomas.
