Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by increased synthesis and release of parathyroid hormone, which produces an elevated serum calcium level and a decline in serum inorganic phosphates. Asymptomatic patients are frequently diagnosed due to screening by automatic multi-chemistry panels. The vast majority of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (80–85%) are due to single or multiple hyp...

The advent of minimally invasive parathyroid surgery (MIPS) has driven the development of improved localization techniques for parathyroid adenoma. The most successful imaging techniques are those that combine excellent anatomic detail with functional information that will help differentiate parathyroid adenoma from other nodules in the region. Ultrasound remains a very useful modality, because...

The concomitant appearance of a sublingual thyroid and primary hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid mediastinal adenoma is not common. This co-occurrence can lead to a misdiagnosis by morphological imaging methods alone. This case emphasizes the role of 99mTc-MIBI scintigraphy in the detection of parathyroid ectopic adenoma in a patient with an ectopic thyroid gland. This more accurate locati...

 Background: Bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. 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....

Clinical Context: The prevalence of hyperparathyroidism, especially primary hyperparathyroidism, has increased in recent decades due to improvements in diagnostic techniques with a corresponding surge in parathyroid surgery, leading to the development of focused, minimally invasive surgical approaches. Focused parathyroidectomy is predicated on preoperative localization of suspected parathyroid...
