case_images: Transversal view of the CT scan (a) highlighting the PTH secreting adenoma at the right upper chest level, along with (b) parathyroid scintigraphy showed a focus of increased 99mTc-sestamibi uptake corresponding to an ectopic parathyroid functioning adenoma.

case_images: Sestamibi parathyroid scan was performed which demonstrated a 9 x 6 x 12-mm ectopic parathyroid adenoma within the superior mediastinum (Figure 1). She subsequently underwent surgical parathyroid adenoma resection 10-month after her initial presentation, prompted by the triad of rapidly progressing kidney stone disease, elevated PTH levels, and the presence of an ectopic adenoma.
case_images: Changes in blood and urine calcium and phosphorus concentrations 7 months before and 8 months after parathyroid adenoma resection.
