The two techniques usually yield identical images (2). Discrepancies in imaging between 131I ("cold") and with 99mTc04 ("hot") have been reported (1, 3-5). Among the pathology of nodules with discordant imaging were Hashimoto's thyroiditis, trabecular adenoma, Hurthle cell adenoma, thyroid carcinoma, and multinodular goiter. We report a case in which a parathyroid adenoma presented as a "cold" nodule on 131I scan and "hot" on 99mTc04 scan.A 60-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and hypertension of 20 years' duration was admitted...References1.
