Abstract
We report a case of a 57-yr-old woman with history of multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN I). A 99mTc-sestamibi scan demonstrated a hyperplastic parathyroid gland, a large anterior mediastinal mass and a pituitary adenoma during a study done to evaluate recurrent hyperparathyroidism. The importance of this case is that much of the nonparathyroid pathology in patients with MEN I syndrome may be detected with this one study.Entities:
