Primary hyperparathyroidism (patient ^#6). A, FCH-PET and PET/CT fused images (MIP, coronal and transversal slices, summed dynamic images in the left column, upper static images in the right column): focus evocative of a left inferior hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland, better visible on the static images. B, ¹²³I/^99mTc-sestaMIBI scintigraphy: discrete focus evocative of a left inferior hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland. On postsurgical histology, a 0.3 g adenoma was found. PTH serum levels decreased from 70 pg/mL preoperatively to 4 pg/mL on the day after surgery. FCH-PET/CT = ¹⁸F-fluorocholine hybrid positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography; PTH = parathyroid hormone; sestaMIBI = sesta-methoxyisobutylisonitrile.
