    Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease, primarily affecting women over 50 years.

  • 2

    Preoperative localization studies for PHPT include neck ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy, with MIBI showing high accuracy.

  • 3

    False positives in MIBI scans often arise from solid thyroid nodules, while false negatives occur in multi-glandular disease or small adenomas.

  • 4

    The study aims to assess the impact of MIBI-positive thyroid nodules on the localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroids in PHPT patients.

  • 5

    Results from preoperative localization studies guide surgical strategies, including minimal invasive parathyroidectomy or bilateral exploration.
