Abstract:
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of hyperparathyroidism and metabolic osteopathy. The authors report a patient with parathyroid carcinoma who underwent 99mTc-Sestamibi parathyroid and 99mTc-MDP bone scanning. These techniques showed the parathyroid lesion and typical features of severe metabolic osteopathy respectively. The bone scan performed at only four months after surgery showed near complete resolution.
