Results of F-choline and C-methionine positron emission tomography/computed tomography for the preoperative localization of hyperfunctional parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Department of Endocrine Surgery, Marienhaus Klinikum Mainz, Germany.
Background: Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism is essential for successful parathyroid surgery, particularly in patients with previous negative imaging or reoperations.
Methods: A multicenter registry study was performed in 776 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism from 53 hospitals in Germany and Austria who underwent parathyroid surgery after preoperative F-choline or C-methionine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Results: In 683 of 776 patients (88%) (78% female, aged 15-86 years), primary hyperparathyroidism was caused by a single-gland parathyroid adenoma.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is the main cause of hypercalcemia, resulting predominantly from parathyroid adenomas followed by hyperplasia. Diagnosis relies on clinical and biochemical parameters. Accurate pre-operative localization is mandatory for better surgical outcome.

We report increased F-FDG uptake in the right posterior mediastinal region in a 70-year-old woman following the discovery of a mass in the aftermath of a bronchitis episode. We also report increased F-Choline uptake in the right posterior mediastinal region in a 66-year-old man with newly discovered prostate cancer, which may indicate the presence of mediastinal metastases. Both patients had a thoracic MRI showing an intense gadolinium enhancement in the same region, consistent with thoracic schwannomas, which were subsequently proven histologically.

Prostatic adenocarcinoma is characterized by elevated phosphatidylcholine metabolism. F-choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is widely used for patients with biochemical recurrence and a prostate-specific antigen threshold above 2 ng/mL. We report a case of a patient with high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma undergoing F-choline PET/CT for biochemical recurrence.
