Parathyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a rare endocrine tumor and uncommon cause for primary hyperparathyroidism. F-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) has shown promising results in the detection of parathyroid adenoma, though its role in PTC is undefined due to the paucity of incidence. The authors in this case report discuss the possible complimentary role of FCH PET/CT with F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in the evaluation of the management of suspected recurrence, since this rare entity has high loco-regional and distant recurrence of the disease.
甲状旁腺癌(PTC)是一种罕见的内分泌肿瘤,也是原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的不常见病因。F-氟胆碱(FCH)正电子发射断层扫描和计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)在甲状旁腺腺瘤的检测中已显示出有前景的结果,不过由于其发病率低,FCH PET/CT在PTC中的作用尚不明确。该病例报告的作者讨论了FCH PET/CT与F-氟脱氧葡萄糖PET/CT在评估疑似复发的处理中可能具有的互补作用,因为这种罕见疾病具有较高的局部区域和远处复发率。
