Giant Parathroid Adenoma With Thoracic Extension: A Case Report
Journal Title: Otolaryngology – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
A 31-year-old female patient was addressed to our consultation for management of hypercalcemia secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism. The physical examination results were normal. The technetium sestamibi (99mTc MIBI) parathyroid scintigraphy showed a large fixation area next to the inferior pole of the left lobe of the thyroid. Cervical computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 6 cm tissue lesion in the inferior pole of the thyroid’s left lobe. The patient was operated through a classical cervical incision, extracting successfully a 6 cm brown lesion. The histopathological study has confirmed the diagnosis of a giant parathyroid adenoma weighing 84 g
