Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma: preoperative identification and localization by parathyroid imaging.
The authors report, probably for the first time, a successful pre-operative localization of 7 mm intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma which was successfully removed by using parathyroid imaging using a dual tracer (T1-201 and Tc-99m) and subtraction technique.
