Sixteen consecutive patients with the clinical diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism, nine with and seven without previous surgery, had computed tomography (CT) examinations preoperatively to evaluate the use of CT in localizing parathyroid adenomas. The patients were scanned at 5 mm intervals from the level of the hyoid bone to the lung apex. Scanning of the mediastinum was performed at 10 mm intervals from apex to lung base. Computed tomography correctly identified prospectively the site of the adenoma in 10 of 13 patients (77%), with surgically proven adenomas. In retrospect, all 13 adenomas could be identified. One false positive diagnosis of adenoma was made. Our study suggests that CT may be beneficial in the preoperative localization of parathyroid tumors, particularly in ectopic locations.
