Accessory parathyroid within thymic tissue has already been reported in such mammals as monkeys (Forsyth1), sheep (Mayer2), dogs (Marine3), rabbits (Haberfeld et al4), cats (Farner et al5), and rats (Van Dyke,6 Togofuku7) as well as in reptiles (Dustin et al8). Only a small number of cases have been r...

But surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance....
متن کاملIntrathymic ectopic parathyroid adenoma caused primary hyperparathyroidism with vitamin D deficiency several years after bariatric surgery
Up to 25% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have ectopic parathyroid adenoma. A 45-year-old formerly obese woman underwent extended thymectomy for a parathyroid adenoma located in hyperplastic thymic tissue, associated with primary hyperparathyroidism and severe vitamin D deficiency, but normal bone mineral density. At nine months follow-up, all laboratory test results were within no...
