Purpose: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an extremely rare disease, typically presenting with marked elevations of serum calcium concentrations and associated with significantly increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Although it progresses slowly, approximately25% of PC patients have lung metastases. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (Tc-99m-MIBI; sestamibi) SPECT/CT scintigraphy in the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas, incidental metastases findings of PC, and ectopic parathyroid tissue.

Pancreatic cysts are mostly incidental findings on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans, with few patients presenting with abdominal pain or other symptoms. The accurate diagnosis of cysts is important as management depends on the type (neoplastic or non-neoplastic). Cross-sectional imaging is fast being replaced with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and various techniques based on that such as EUS-guided fine needle aspiration, EUS-guided needle confocal laser endomicroscopy, EUS-through-the-needle biopsy, and contrast-enhanced EUS.

Objectives: Radiographs are routinely acquired for orthodontic evaluation, and incidental findings (IFs) may be detected early as part of this routine care. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IFs on panoramic radiographs taken for orthodontic assessment and evaluate the ability of orthodontists to detect, interpret and recommend management for IFs.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1756 patients aged 7-21 with a panoramic image taken for orthodontic evaluation was performed.
