PDFAbstract
Objective To investigate the spiral CT manifestations of parathyroid adenoma and evaluate its application value in primary hospitals. Methods The spiral CT data of 8 cases of pathologically confirmed parathyroid adenoma were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were scanned by thin-layer enhanced scanning. Results 8 cases of parathyroid adenoma occurred in the tracheal-esophageal sulcus behind the lower parathyroid gland, with a single nodule (6 cases on the right side and 2 cases on the left side).CT plain scan showed an elliptical or rounded edge smooth soft tissue density nodules, similar to the density of surrounding large vessels, clear boundary with thyroid and surrounding tissue, diameter of about 0.7cm-3.1cm, no calcification, 2 cases of internal necrosis. The CT-enhanced nodules showed uniform or uneven enhancement, and the CT value was lower than that of the surrounding large blood vessels. 8 cases had different degrees of osteoporosis, and 2 cases had renal stones. Conclusion Spiral CT has been widely used in primary hospitals. It has the advantages of wide coverage, large amount of information collected, low dose, fast scanning speed, high resolution and accurate positioning. It can be used as the most common and important parathyroid adenoma diagnosis method.
