  • Title: Technetium-99m-pertechnetate uptake by intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma.
    Author: Leslie WD, Riese KT, Guzman R, Dupont JO, Peterdy AE.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1996 May; 37(5):861-2. PubMed ID: 8965164.
    Abstract:
    A 57-yr-old woman was referred for preoperative scintigraphic localization of a parathyroid adenoma. Double-phase 99mTc-sestamibi imaging was performed followed by a separate-day [99mTc]pertechnetate thyroid scan. There was marked accumulation of both tracers by a right lower pole ¿thyroid' nodule which, at surgery, proved to be an intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma. Hypervascularity is the presumed explanation for rare cases of pertechnetate-avid parathyroid adenomas.
