Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Imaging to Pathology

Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis: A Diagnostic Clue to Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Diagnostic Imaging Pathways - Hyperparathyroidism (Primary Suspected)

Preoperative evaluation of thyroid pathology in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

In parathyroidectomy, it has been recognized that a shift to a minimally invasive procedure may be accompanied by a possibility of missing thyroid pathology. However, only a few findings concerning preoperative thyroid evaluation have been reported. We investigated the prevalence of concomitant thyroid pathology by preoperative neck ultrasonography (US) in patients with primary hyperparathyroid...

Death due to primary hyperparathyroidism.

A hypercalcemia is a common metabolic disorder, usually detected incidentally on routine biochemical screening. The most common etiologies are primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and cancer. Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion due to parathyroid adenoma (80% of cases), hyperplasia (15-20%), and carcinoma (1-2%). Primary hyperparathyroidis...

Incidentalomas during imaging for primary hyperparathyroidism—incidence and clinical outcomes

BACKGROUND Imaging for pre-operative localisation of parathyroid glands in primary hyperparathyroidism is now routine. This has led to the detection of incidental lesions (incidentalomas) in other organs, the nature of which is not well characterised. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, characteristics and outcomes in patients who had incidental findings on parathyroid imaging...
