Abstract

A focus of increased uptake on a 201Tl minus 99mTc subtraction scintigram of the parathyroid glands was found in a patient with persistent hypercalcemia. This area was not caused by an abnormal parathyroid gland but by an enlarged lymph node containing metastatic tissue from an adenocarcinoma of the ovary.
