A patient with recurrent parathyroid hyperplasia after autotransplantation in the sternocleidomastoid muscle is presented. It shows that autotransplanted parathyroid tissue can become revascularised and functional. Some theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

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.
