Abstract
Malignancy-associated hypercalcemia is a complication of advanced tumours that is associated to a poor prognosis. Thorough evaluation to establish its cause is essential because some patients may actually have undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism.We report a case of a patient affected by Hodgkin's Lymphoma and persistent hypercalcemia with an incidental 18F-FDG PET/CT finding in the anterior neck region, not ascribable to malignancy, confirmed with 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy. It was removed by minimally invasive surgery. It was shown to be an oxyphil parathyroid adenoma localized in an unusual site.
