Abstract:
We report a case in which 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT was used to localize a middle mediastinum parathyroid adenoma that was not detected with planar sestamibi imaging on two previous occasions. Despite prior surgical exploration of the neck and mediastinum, the patient had a 20-yr history of hyperparathyroidism.
