Ectopic thyroid tissue on thallium/technetium parathyroid scan. 1987

A Asp, and J Hasbargen, and P Blue, and G S Kidd

The thallium 201/technetium 99m pertechnetate radionuclide study is becoming widely accepted as a means of localizing abnormal or aberrantly located parathyroid tissue. We describe a case in which ectopic retrosternal thyroid tissue appeared as a parathyroid adenoma on thallium-201/technetium-99m pertechnetate scan. Physicians who use this radionuclide study should be aware of the possibility of false-positive images within the mediastinum.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
