This condition is characterised by overactivity of the parathyroid glands, resulting in excessive parathyroid hormone production and subsequent disturbances in calcium homeostasis. The primary mode of management is surgical treatment, relying on the accurate localisation of the pathological parathyroid gland. Precise identification is paramount to ensuring that the surgical intervention effectively targets and removes the diseased gland, alleviating the hyperfunctioning state. However, localising the gland becomes challenging, as discrepancies between the clinical manifestation of active parathyroid and radiological identification are common. Based on our current knowledge, to date, no comprehensive review has been conducted that considers all factors collectively. This comprehensive review delves into the factors contributing to false-negative 99mTc-Sestamibi scans. Our research involved an exhaustive search in the PubMed database for hyperparathyroidism, with the identified literature meticulously filtered and reviewed by the authors. The results highlighted various factors, including multiple parathyroid diseases, nodular goitre, mild disease, or the presence of an ectopic gland that causes discordance. Hence, a thorough consideration of these factors is crucial during the diagnostic workup of hyperparathyroidism. Employing intraoperative PTH assays can significantly contribute to a successful cure of the disease, thereby providing a more comprehensive approach to managing this prevalent endocrine disorder.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/ec-24-0265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,19]],"date-time":"2024-08-19T10:56:47Z","timestamp":1724065007000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["False-negative 99mTc-sestamibi scans: factors and outcomes in primary hyperparathyroidism"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9289-0343","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Budoor","family":"Alemadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology Department, Dubai Hospital, Dubai Health, Dubai, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fauzia","family":"Rashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology Department, Dubai Hospital, Dubai Health, Dubai, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4294-3624","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ali","family":"Alzahrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Department of Medicine, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"New England Journal of Medicine","first-page":"189","article-title":"Primary hyperparathyroidism: incidence, morbidity, and potential economic impact in a community","volume":"302","author":"Heath","year":"1980","unstructured":"Heath HIIIHodgson SF & Kennedy MA.
