Abstract
This article report a 40-year-old male patient who underwent total thyroidectomy and forearm auto-transplantation in another hospital for secondary hyperparathyroidism. After 4 years of follow-up, the level of parathyroid hormone continued to increase, and ultrasound showed nodules in the neck and right forearm, which were considered to be of parathyroid origin. Technetium 99m sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography (Tc-99m-MIBI SPECT/CT) imaging showed increased radioactive uptake in the submuscular soft tissue nodule of the right medial forearm, maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) is 0.98, which was identified as transplanted functioning parathyroid tissue. No parathyroid imaging activity was found in the neck. The patient then underwent partial removal of ectopic parathyroid tissue from the right forearm. Pathological examination confirmed parathyroid tissue, and removal was followed by a rapid decline in serum parathyroid hormone levels.
期刊介绍：
Hemodialysis International was originally an annual publication containing the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Hemodialysis held in conjunction with the Annual Dialysis Conference. Since 2003, Hemodialysis International is published quarterly and contains original papers on clinical and experimental topics related to dialysis in addition to the Annual Dialysis Conference supplement. This journal is a must-have for nephrologists, nurses, and technicians worldwide. Quarterly issues of Hemodialysis International are included with your membership to the International Society for Hemodialysis.
The journal contains original articles, review articles, and commentary to keep readers completely updated in the field of hemodialysis. Edited by international and multidisciplinary experts, Hemodialysis International disseminates critical information in the field.
