Excerpt

We present a 40-year-old female patient with a history of generalized bone pain and fatigue for 6 months. Hyperparathyroidism (PTH 1,629 pg/ml, normal range 12–65), parathyroid adenomas, hypophysis adenoma, clinical symptoms for insulinoma, and left adrenal mass were shown in her routine biochemical analysis, radiological, and scintigraphy images. MEN type I was suspected according to these findings. FDG PET/CT was planned to exclude a malignancy. …
