In conclusion, data obtained on patients with positive or negative scintigraphy support the hypothesis that sestamibi can be a tracer that is capable of predicting some biological characteristics of parathyroid tumors such as angiogenesis, proliferation indexes, and the invasion of surrounding tissues or vessels. Starting from these considerations, the aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association among sestamibi uptake and the main histopathological characteristics of parathyroid lesions related to aggressiveness such as proliferation index (Ki67 expression and mitosis), angiogenesis (number of vessels), and vascular invasion in PHP patients. ./cache/cord-290135-ax5ck4qw.txt ./txt/cord-290135-ax5ck4qw.txt
