Mandibular hypercondylia is a rare and autonomous bone disease due to the excessive growth of the condylar cartilage. The radiological assessment following the clinical examination remains essential to the diagnostic orientation. Planar bone scintigraphy has been frequently used to assess the active or inactive nature of this situation. We report here the case of a patient whose diagnosis of active mandibular hypercondylia was retained due to the complement with SPECT / CT imaging, the planar bone scintigraphy being negative.

ResumenLa elección de La Macération y de Hable con ella emana, entre otras cosas, de una similitud temática: el deseo de un hombre hacia una mujer que pasa o no por la palabra. La Macération y Hable con ella consiguen adelantar la porosidad entre literatura y cine a nivel poético (estético) para expresar la noción del deseo en su vínculo visceral con la imagen y la palabra acuática.
We report herein a case of a 40-year-old male patient with chronic renal failure presenting a severe hyperparathyroidism with an elevation of parathormone level evaluated in nuclear medicine department for MIBI-Technetium-99m parathyroid scintigraphy. The parathyroid scintigraphy revealed the appearance of a preferential fixation of the MIBI-99mTc opposite the lower left pole of the thyroid and opposite the upper part of the right hemi thorax. A subsequent single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography focused on the cervico-thoracic region was performed and showed an ectopic parathyroid adenoma associated with an incidental brown tumor mimicking bone and lung metastases. Our case report confirms the usefulness of additional hybrid SPECT-CT imaging in the management of hyperparathyroidism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
