Parathyroid cyst: Unusual Cause of Cystic Neck Mass
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Parathyroid cysts are rare lesions. McCoy et al reported an incidence of 3% in 1769 patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). However when patients subjected for ultrasound neck were studied the incidence was 0.075% which shows the rarity of the cyst. The majority of parathyroid cysts are said to be non functioning and needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis of asymptomatic neck mass. In this report we discuss our experience with two cases of parathyroid cyst.
