A 50-year-old man presented with right chest pain and increased parathyroid hormone levels after parathyroidectomy. PET/CT scans revealed an osteolytic lesion on the right sixth rib, which was confirmed to be a brown tumor upon subsequent biopsy.
A 50-year-old man presented with right chest pain and persistent increased parathyroid hormone after parathyroidectomy for parathyroid carcinoma. Ga-68-DOTATATE PET/CT and F-18-FDG PET/CT were performed consecutively for restaging to determine subsequent treatment strategy. An osteolytic lesion on the right sixth rib showed increased uptake on both Ga-68-DOTATATE and F-18-FDG PET/CT. Subsequent biopsy confirmed it to be a brown tumor.
