[Contribution of intraoperative scintigraphy to the detection of intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma].
The intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas (IPA) represent a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism whose location difficults appropriate surgical removal. We present the case of a patient diagnosed of parathyroid adenoma by presurgical scintigraphy in which finally during the parathyroidectomy, the lesion location was intrathyroidal. We consider that the intrasurgical parathyroid scintigraphy with (99m)Tc-MIBI by portable gammacamera is useful in the parathyroid adenomas removal and essential in the case of IPA.
