A concentration of radioactive materials in the parathyroid gland beyond background levels suggests excessive activity and the presence of a tumor. False positive results sometimes result from the presence of multinodular goiter, neoplasm, or cysts. False positive tests are tests that interpret the results as abnormal when this is not true.
