Abstract
99m Tc-MIBI scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging modality commonly used for the preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas in patients with hyperparathyroidism. In addition, 99m Tc-MIBI can also be used for imaging various tumors due to its unique mechanism of intracellular accumulation. Here, we introduced a case of a single 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT simultaneously visualized two different malignant tumors, such as papillary thyroid cancer and small cell lung cancer, along with a parathyroid adenoma in a patient with hyperparathyroidism. The clinical usefulness of 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT was also explored by comparing it with 18 F-FDG PET/CT among the three tumors.
