Abstract
A 50-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease presented with recurrent hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy. 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy did not show MIBI-avid lesion in the neck or mediastinum but in bilateral lung fields instead. On suspicion of malignancy, 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed and depicted no significant FDG uptake throughout the whole body. After resection of the pulmonary nodules, the final histopathology revealed benign parathyroid hyperplasia with pulmonary seeding, which is exceptionally a rare entity.
