We report a case of 16-year-old female primary hyperparathyroidism patient who underwent cervical ultrasonography and 99mTc-sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography, both of which were negative for parathyroid adenoma. Subsequent 11C-methionine positron emission tomography/CT showed positive focal uptake suggesting parathyroid adenoma, which then was confirmed pathologically.
