Article Synopsis
- Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma is a rare condition that occurs in 1.4-6% of cases and can complicate the treatment of hyperparathyroidism due to its unusual location.
- A 51-year-old patient with neck pain and a goiter underwent scintigraphy that identified a potential parathyroid adenoma, leading to a left loboisthmectomy.
- The subsequent analysis confirmed the presence of a benign parathyroid adenoma amidst damaged thyroid tissue, and follow-up tests showed normal lab results, highlighting MIBI scintigraphy as the best diagnostic tool for this condition.
White thyroid scintigraphy corresponds to an absence or near-absence of radiotracer fixation in the cervical region. After eliminating technical causes, the main etiologies are iodine overload, thyroiditis, and congenital hypothyroidism. We report the case of a 22-day-old newborn with congenital hypothyroidism.
