Parotid Oncocytoma on 99mTc-Sestamibi Scintigraphy and SPECT/CT.

Oncocytomas in the parotid gland are a rare benign neoplasm composed of mitochondrial-rich oncocytes. Here we present the case of an 85-year-old man with a history of biopsy-proven right parotid gland oncocytoma who underwent 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy and SPECT/CT in the context of primary hyperparathyroidism. Focal intense uptake of radiotracer is detected within the right parotid gland on sestamibi scintigraphy. SPECT/CT confirms the localization of sestamibi uptake to the hyperattenuating parotid gland oncocytoma.
