Abstract
The thallium 201/technetium 99m pertechnetate radionuclide study is becoming widely accepted as a means of localizing abnormal or aberrantly located parathyroid tissue. We describe a case in which ectopic retrosternal thyroid tissue appeared as a parathyroid adenoma on thallium-201/technetium-99m pertechnetate scan. Physicians who use this radionuclide study should be aware of the possibility of false-positive images within the mediastinum.
