Providing Optimal Preoperative Localization for Recurrent Parathyroid Carcinoma: A Combined Parathyroid Scintigraphy and Computed Tomography Approach

Abstract

Successful surgical intervention for recurrent parathyroid carcinoma requires accurate preoperative localization studies and complete excision of metastases. Our data supports combined analysis of parathyroid scintigraphy and CT for patients with recurrent disease before reoperation. Additionally, our review suggests that sensitivity may be optimized with SPECT parathyroid scintigraphy and close correlation with CT.
