Abstract
Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) is increasingly used for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenoma. As experience is gained with this radiopharmaceutical, instances of uptake by non-adenomas will be encountered. A case of focal Tc-99m MIBI uptake by parathyroid carcinoma mimicking parathyroid adenoma is presented.
