Abstract
- Radionuclide imaging with Tc-99m MIBI is the preferred mode of parathyroid localization in current practice. It also successfully identifies hyperfunctioning autotransplanted parathyroid tissue. The authors report a case with recurrent hyperparathyroidism after total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation in the forearm. Double-phase Tc-99m MIBI imaging successfully localized the hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue, which was missed by magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. In addition, the parathyroid tissue was localized using an intraoperative probe at subsequent surgery.
