4D-CT parathyroid increases the likelihood of localising parathyroid adenoma in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and indeterminate Tc99m-Sestamibi+I-123 subtraction scan

Lee Brian , Pandit Manish , Basu Ansu

Introduction: Tc99m-Sestamibi+I-123 subtraction using planar and SPECT-CT is commonly used to investigate PHPT. Our centre previously published sensitivity and specificity of 92 and 86% respectively for Tc99m-Sestamibi+I-123 subtraction. Five false-negative studies required neck exploratory surgery. One false-positive study incorrectly localised a PA which was not found in surgery (n=67). In recent years 4D-CT parathyroid has emerged as a useful technique to detect an...

Mathew Anna , Kennedy Amy , Basu Ansu , De Parijat

The presentation of a patient with an adrenal tumour often causes diagnostic difficulty for the endocrinologist. Adrenal tumours are rare occurrences, particularly when large in size. We present two cases, where large adrenal tumours were found in inpatients on CT scanning and discuss the difficulties which arose in each case when attempting to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Case 1 A 38 year old Bangladeshi woman was being investigated for fevers, sweats and pancytopaenia. She...
