In primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) an exact localization of the pathological parathyroid gland(s) is essential before minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. We have previously shown in a small group of pHPT patients, that 11C-methionine-PET/CT provides additional information if 123I/99m Tc-sestamibi (MIBI) scan remains negative. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical value of 11C-Met-PET/CT in a larger pHPT patie...

Introduction and design: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine malignancy and the diagnosis is difficult. As the incidence seems to be increasing, we examined all cases diagnosed in our country during years 2000–2011 and compared the results to those of atypical parathyroid (AA; n=28) and parathyroid adenomas (A; n=72). All tissue specimens were re-examined.Results: In 2000–2011, 32 patients were diagnosed with PC in ...
