title: Parathyroid adenoma localization by PET FDG.
abstract: A patient with primary hyperparathyroidism was examined with positron emission tomography using [18F]-2-fluorodeoxyglucose. The radioactive tracer accumulated in a cervical mass that proved to be a parathyroid adenoma resulting in the correct preoperative localization of the parathyroid tumor.
