Abstract
We report a case in which Tc-99m-sestamibi SPECT was used to localize a middle mediastinum parathyroid adenoma that was not detected with pl anar sestamibi imaging on two previous occasions. Despite prior surgic al exploration of the neck and mediastinum, the patient had a 20-yr hi story of hyperparathyroidism.
