Abstract:
A 50-year-old woman presented with persistent left hip pain. MRI suggested metastatic lesions or hematologic disease. Further evaluation with 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT revealed multiple skeletal lesions with radiotracer uptake and a non-avid low-density mass in the right parathyroid area. Elevated parathyroid hormone, hypercalcemia, and a 99mTc-sestamibi-avid right parathyroid mass led to a diagnosis of right parathyroid adenoma causing secondary brown tumors. Surgical removal of the parathyroid mass confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting the efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET imaging in detecting brown tumors.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
