Surgical parathyroidectomy is the only recommended treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Sestamibi scan is the most widely accepted and commonly used technique, for locating the parathyroid gland. The false positive rate of sestamibi scan is not widely reported. Here, we present the case of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma which was mislocated by the sestamibi scan.
