Abstract: | 201Tl-99mTc subtraction scintigraphy has been recognized as a useful procedure in the preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands. We experienced a case which showed 99mTc-pertechnetate uptake in a parathyroid hyperplasia. This case warned us to focus a lot of attention on the detection for preoperative localization. There has been no such case reported in the previous Japanese literatures. Hypervascularity and thick fibrous capsule presumed explanation for a rare case of marked pertechnetate uptake into a parathyroid hyperplasia. |
