N2 - A 59-year-old woman underwent dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy with Tc-99m hexakis 2-methoxy-isobutyl isonitrile (sestamibi) to aid surgical planning for primary hyperparathyroidism. Scintigraphy revealed an incidental recurrence of breast carcinoma within the anterior chest wall 8 years after mastectomy. This case illustrates how parathyroid scintigrams require careful scrutiny for second neoplasia, and why any unusual or unexpected localization should be pursued for diagnosis.
