Abstract
- We report a case of a 25-year old man with chronic kidney disease with secondary hyperparathyroidism who had persistent elevation of serum parathyroid hormone level after the immediate total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation. To localize supernumerary (ectopic) parathyroid gland, we checked Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy, MDCT and PET-CT. Contrast-enhanced MDCT showed a small strong enhancing lesion over left bracheocephalic vein, and PET-CT showed multiple brown tumors. We removed the supernumerary parathyroid gland and got a rapid drop of parathyroid hormone level.
