Abstract

Parathyroid scintigraphy has been accepted by many endocrinologists and neck surgeons as part of the routine preoperative workup of hyperparathyroidism. The presented case is a patient who underwent a parathyroid scintigraphy in another medical center and the axillary lymph node visualization was previously interpreted as suggestive of malignancy. Scintigraphic images were consulted to the Mersin University nuclear medicine department and it has been shown that the reason of the axillary lymph node uptake was because of radiopharmaceutical extravasation in Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy. The authors want to remind that phenomenon in order to prevent a potential false positive interpretation.

Özet

Paratiroid sintigrafisi, son dönemlerde pek çok endokrinolog ve boyun cerrahı tarafından özellikle primer hiperparatiroidizmde ameliyat öncesi rutin tetkiklerden biri olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu yazıda daha önce başka bir merkezde çekilen Teknesyum 99m-metoksi isobutil isonitril (Tc-99m MIBI) paratiroid sintigrafisinde paratiroid adenomu dışında aksiler lenf nodu tutulumu da saptanan ve malignansi olarak rapor edilen hasta sunulmaktadır. Hastanın sintigrafi görüntüleri Mersin Üniversitesi Nükleer Tıp Anabilim Dalı'na danışılmış ve aksiller tutulumun aslında radyofarmasötik ekstravazasyonuna bağlı olarak ortaya çıktığı ve aksillada bir patoloji olmadığı gösterilmiştir. Yazarların amacı Tc-99m MIBI paratiroid sintigrafisi çekilen bir hastada radyofarmasötiğin cilt altı infiltrasyonunun aksiler lenf nodu tutulumuna neden olabileceğini hatırlatmak ve olası yanlış pozitif yorumları engelleyebilmektir.
