I had sestambi scan 2 year ago and it pin pointed an area were the parathyroid adenoma could b but on the ultra sound it didnt show anything. Therefore my consultant wouldnt do anything apart from regular calcium blood test which r normally elevated at 2.79 and I have lots of syptoms. Anyway today I had another ultra sound but he couldnt find it again but he did day I had lots of thyroid nodules. The question I would like t ask is because I have lots of nodules could the parathyroid adenoma be hiding behind them. Thank u Carroll

Yes! My adenoma was hidden by a large thyroid nodule. I'm surprised though that yours showed on the sestamibi. I have often read that ultra sound is not a reliable test for parathyroid. I would consult another doctor. mass

I have a possible parathyroid adenoma. Now I have to have a thyroid ultrasound. What exactly is all of these tests for? Thanks.
