FCH PET
/
CT
Imaging
C. Kleimeyer, S. Kyle, C. Wong, E. Wootton, D. A. Pattison ABSTRACT
Intrathyroid parathyroid adenomas can be difficult to detect on imaging and may be missed intraoperatively. 18F‐fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FCH PET/CT) is a relatively new imaging modality used to evaluate patients with hyperparathyroidism preoperatively. We present the case of an intrathyroid parathyroid adenoma visualised on FCH PET/CT but not identified on the current conventional imaging modalities preoperatively, which subsequently underwent successful surgical removal.
