Abstract
Technetium-99m sestamibi is known to localize in primary malignant and metastatic tumors. Specifically, brain, breast, thyroid, parathyroid, lung, and kidney tumors have been imaged. The Verner Morrison syndrom e, which is caused by excessive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), c onsists of watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and achlorhydria. This condit ion is rarely associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia. The author s present a case of multiple endocrine neoplasia type I with visualiza tion of a pancreatic VIPoma and parathyroid adenoma with Tc-99m MIBI.
