| الوصف: | Primary hyperparathyroidism is mostly caused by parathyroid adenoma(s) which are generally localized using routine imaging modalities such as neck ultrasonography and 99m Tc-SestaMIBI scintigraphy. However, these can miss ectopic parathyroid adenomas due to their limited sensitivities. These ectopic lesions can later lead to failure of surgical excision and necessitate the need for a re-exploration. 18 F-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can help in the localization of these ectopic adenomas due to its superior detection rates and spatial resolution. Herein, we report a case of ectopic parathyroid adenomas that were localized on FCH PET/CT. |
