ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder characterised by excessive parathormone secretion that results in hypercalcemia, primarily caused by parathyroid adenoma. Accurate localisation of hyperfunctioning tissue is essential for curative surgical treatment. Although conventional imaging modalities like ultrasonography and 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy (SPECT) along with 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT are commonly employed, there are cases with false-negative imaging results. CASE PRESENTATION This case report presents a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism and a parathyroid adenoma detected solely through 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT, typically used for prostate cancer diagnosis. The lesion observed in the PET/CT was confirmed as a parathyroid adenoma through laboratory evaluation, while other imaging techniques failed to detect it.CONCLUSIONS:
This finding suggests that the PSMA ligands' particular affinity for neovascularisation in focal changes may facilitate the visualisation of parathyroid adenomas. The utilisation of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in primary hyperparathyroidism could potentially improve the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas when conventional imaging methods are inconclusive.
