abstract parathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid glands. the cause of most parathyroid adenomas is unknown. parathyroid adenoma increases the secretion of parathyroid hormone and results in primary hyperparathyroidism. high amounts of parathyroid hormone in the blood cause the imbalance of calcium, which leads to various complications such as kidney stones, depression, lethargy...

AbstractParathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid glands. The cause of most parathyroid adenomas is unknown. Parathyroid adenoma increases the secretion of parathyroid hormone and results in primary hyperparathyroidism. High amounts of parathyroid hormone in the blood cause the imbalance of calcium, which leads to various complications such as kidney stones, depression, lethargy,...

introduction: the purpose of this study is to assess the integrated role of scintigraphy by tc99m mibi in diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma and its impacts on the myocardium, and to evaluate whether myocardium perfusion gated spect study could be a complementary routine workup for patient with positive parathyroid adenoma on tc99m mibi parathyroid scan. methods: rest myocardium perfusion gated s...

A 19-year-old girl referred to our clinic complaining of a painless lump on the left side of her tongue.  The patient had no history of dysphagia, lingual paresthesia or bleeding. Physical examination revealed the presence of multiple enlarged lymph nodes on the left side of her neck.  Histopathology of lingual mass and lymph nodes showed pleomorphic adenoma.  To our knowledge, this is the firs...

a 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with loomci of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. the patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. in thi...

concomitant papillary thyroid cancer and parathyroid adenoma is rare. we report a 55 years old female with papillary cancer admitted for surgery. preoperative laboratory findings revealed hypercalcemia and then primary hyperparathyroidism. thyroidectomy, neck dissection and excision of parathyroid adenoma were performed. histological examination revealed parathyroid adenoma. serum calcium retur...

A 54 years old female with history of total thyroidectomy for papillary carcinoma, treated with lOOmCi of iodine-131 and negative whole body scans was referred for follow up study. Tl-201 scan revealed an area of radiotracer uptake in the neck region, suggestive of a parathyroid adenoma versus recurrence of thyroid carcinoma. The patient was operated, the parathyroid adenoma was removed. ...

salivary gland tumors are rare in children and, when they do arise, they mainly affect the major salivary glands. minor salivary gland tumors are rare in children and are responsible for less than 10% of the cases. pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the salivary glands. the most common sites of pleomorphic adenoma of the minor salivary glands are the palates, followed by the lips a...

background and importance: the coexistence of pituitary adenoma and another type of brain tumor is a very rare clinical scenario. even though such a presentation can be an incidental event but the possible pathogenesis of coexistence of different lesions in the sella and suprasellar region has not yet been elucidated. case presentation: two cases of concomitant sellar and suprasellar region tum...
