Parathyromatosis type 2 detected by 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT %K %X Parathyromatosis, which is defined as multiple foci of benign hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue in neck or mediastinum, is a rare but severe cause of persistent/recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism (rHPT) after parathyroidectomy (PTX). It is hard to detect and remove all the foci. We present a case of parathyromatosis in a haemodialysed patient, who had three PTXs for persistent/recurrent rHPT and was free of recurrence during 31-month follow-up after the third PTX. 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT scan prior to the third PTX located all the lesions. The presented case suggests that preoperative 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT is useful for successful surgical removal of parathyromatosis. %U https://gs.amegroups.org/article/view/32623 %V 8 %N 6 %P 806-809 %@ 2227-8575
