COVID-19 pneumonia detected by parathyroid scintigraphy.
We report a case of incidental diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia by parathyroid scintigraphy. A 53-year-old woman who had severe fatigue, and mild dyspnea underwent parathyroid scintigraphy due to increased serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and serum calcium levels. Parathyroid scan was negative for abnormal parathyroid tissue. Although the patient had three negative results of COVID-19 PCR tests, significant 99m Tchexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ([99mTc]MIBI) uptake is noticed in both lungs that was suspicious for Covid-19 pneumonia. The patient underwent CT scan of the chest for further evaluation. Diffuse groundglass opacities were identified in both lungs which were interpreted as typical feature for COVID-19 pneumonia.
