title: [A case of PET-CT imaging for primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) manifestations and functions in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT).
  
  
  METHODS
  The diagnosis of 1 case of double parathyroid adenomas secondary to pPTH was reported and the related literature was reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  PET-CT showed two nodus shadow with slightly lower density compared with muscle, clear boundary and uniform density. Simultaneously, images also showed multiple enhanced FDG uptake of bone lesions in skeletal system. The maximum standard uptake values for ¹⁸F-FDG in the destructive bone lesions were more than 10.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT is a well-established imaging technique for the diagnosis in pHPT. It not only can clearly visualize systemic lesions and accurately assess the extent of the disease, but also can accurately localize parathyroid adenoma. After resection of parathyroid adenoma, FDG PET-CT imaging can be useful to see the response to treatment and osteoblastic changes in brown tumor.
