Uptake of 201Thallium in a so-called brown tumour of hyperparathyroidism
- 1. Ghent Rijksuniversiteit (Belgium). Kliniek voor Radiotherapie en Kerngeneeskunde
Description
When performing a 201Tl-sup(99m)Tc subtraction scan of the parathyroids in a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism, a marked accumulation of 201Tl was observed in a so-called brown tumour of the mandible. The 201Tl uptake can probably be explained by the rich vascularity and the high cellularity of the lesion. (Author)
