Giant parathyroid adenomas are uncommon. Its clinical management is challenging. Our study’s goal to share our experience with pre-operative localization of while emphasizing the importance intraoperative hormone (IOPTH) assays in such situations. Here, we present case a 46-year-old woman who was diagnosed adenoma. The aspects, management, and surgical procedure have all been examined. Parathyr...

BACKGROUND Direct aspiration from suspected pathological tissue and rapid parathyroid hormone analysis may offer a reliable, cost effective alternative to currently used "gold standard" tests. OBJECTIVES To validate the accuracy of intraoperative measurements of parathyroid hormone levels in parathyroid adenomas. METHODS A prospective study included 22 patients diagnosed with primary hyperp...

Aim: To identify whether the combination of Methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) and ultrasound scan (USS) in localizing the parathyroid gland preoperatively is more effective than either MIBI or USS alone. Materials and methods: Retrospective manual analysis of patients’ operative and medical notes was undertaken. Patients presenting with raised serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) between ...

Background: Spontaneous haemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma is a rare and potentially life-threatening presentation. Case presentation: We report the case of a 45 year old female recently diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism who presented with chest discomfort and acute airway compromise due to spontaneous extracapsular haemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma. Computed tomography (CT) i...

CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 45 year old female recently diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism who presented with chest discomfort and acute airway compromise due to spontaneous extracapsular haemorrhage into a parathyroid adenoma.

A 34-year-old man with hypercalcemia had a sestamibi scan that showed increased uptake that appeared to correspond with a 7 mm density in the mediastinum, adjacent to the aortic arch, on chest CT. This lesion was thought to be consistent with an ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Prior to surgical exploration, the patient was injected intravenously with 12.3 millicuries of Tc99m-sestamibi. The lesion...

UNLABELLED Haemorrhage of a parathyroid adenoma is a rare clinical presentation. This report describes a previously fit and well 54-year-old woman who presented with acute neck swelling and pain with an overlying ecchymosis. Admission laboratory tests revealed a raised parathyroid hormone and hypercalcaemia. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed widespread anterior cervical haemorrhage and a l...

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a very rare endocrine cancer with aggressive behavior, high metastatic potential, and poor prognosis. Surgical resection of affected gland(s) other involved structures the elective therapy. Pre-operative intra-operative differential diagnosis benign parathyroid adenoma remains challenge. The lack clear pre-operative does not allow one, in many cases, to choose corr...
