Abstract
Confirmation and localization of parathyroid adenomas remain difficult in imaging to date. Often, several imaging tests are necessary for the location of the adenoma (echography, scintigraphy). Recently, limited series have shown a potential benefit of PET to fluorocholine. Here we report the case of a patient initially operated for primary hyperparathyroidism with persistence of a high PTH in post-operative suites and whose MIBI scintigraphy did not detect a persistent parathyroid nodule.
