Background: Parathyroid adenoma (PA) sometimes recurs after surgery, how to improve the surgical success rate of PA is the key to the treatment of this disease.
Aim: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of patients with PA.
Methods: Patients who were pathologically confirmed with PA and had undergone surgery for the first time between January 2010 and December 2017 at the Beijing Shijitan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were included in the study. The clinical features, localization diagnosis, and surgical treatment of these patients were analyzed.
Results: Of the 140 patients, 32 were male and 108 were female; 132 cases had one adenoma, and 8 had two adenomas. In addition, 114 cases had clinical symptoms, among which 51, 28, 23, 8, and 4 had urinary system, skeletal system, digestive system, neuromuscular system, and neuropsychiatric symptoms, respectively, while 26 cases had no obvious symptoms. The median level of preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) was 201.0 pg/mL. The positive detection rate of technetium-99m sestamibi (Tc-99m MIBI) single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), ultrasound examination, and the combined use of Tc-99m MIBI SPECT/CT and ultrasound examination was 92.9%, 85.5%, and 96.4%, respectively. Open surgery was performed in all patients, and PTH was monitored during surgery. The success rate of surgery was 98.6%. After surgery, 21 cases developed hypocalcemia, 1 case developed temporary hoarseness, and 19 cases had transient hypoparathyroidism but there was no permanent hypoparathyroidism, postoperative hemorrhage, or hematoma in the surgical area.
Conclusion: For patients with clinically unexplained skeletal system, urinary system, and neuropsychiatric symptoms, the possibility of PA should be considered. Imaging examinations such as ultrasound and Tc-99m MIBI SPECT/CT could be integrated before surgery to obtain accurate localization diagnosis. Precise preoperative localization, intraoperative PTH monitoring, and delicate surgery to protect the integrity of the PA capsule ensure a minimally invasive and successful surgery.

Background: Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) in patients with a parathyroid adenoma (PA) requires imaging modalities for precise localization. Parathyroid hormone assay on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration washout, or PTH washout, can be used for this purpose. It is unclear whether PTH washout complements traditional PA localization techniques such as a sestamibi (MIBI) scan or diminishes its need.

Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is a functional imaging modality that utilizes technetium 99m sestamibi radiotracer uptake to evaluate the biology of breast tumors. Molecular breast imaging can be a useful tool for supplemental screening of women with dense breasts, for breast cancer diagnosis and staging, and for evaluation of treatment response in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant systemic therapy. In addition, MBI is useful in problem-solving when mammography and US imaging are insufficient to arrive at a definite diagnosis and for patients who cannot undergo breast MRI.

Article Synopsis
- - Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is the preferred treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, but it relies on effective preoperative localization methods to identify overactive parathyroid tissue.
- - A study compared two groups of patients—234 who had traditional MIBI scintigraphy and 163 who had FCh-PET/CT—focusing on the efficiency and outcomes of these imaging techniques leading up to surgery.
- - Results showed that FCh-PET/CT significantly reduced imaging time by 83% and surgery time by 41% without using intraoperative hormone monitoring, suggesting it may lead to faster procedures and fewer reoperations for patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of F-fluorocholine PET/CT imaging in locating hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) when other imaging methods were inconclusive.
- Out of 167 patients, F-fluorocholine PET/CT identified 92.81% of lesions, showing high sensitivity and accuracy, leading to successful surgical interventions.
- Post-surgery, patients experienced a significant reduction in parathyroid hormone levels, confirming the imaging's reliability for preoperative planning in pHPT cases.
