Giant Parathroid Adenoma With Thoracic Extension: A Case Report
Keywords:
Giant parathyroid adenoma, Pancreatitis, Primary hyperparathyroidismAbstract
A 31-year-old female patient was addressed to our consultation for management of hypercalcemia secondary to primary hyper-parathyroidism. The physical examination results were normal. The technetium sestamibi (99mTc MIBI) parathyroid scintigraphy showed a large fixation area next to the inferior pole of the left lobe of the thyroid. Cervical computed tomography (CT) scan showed a 6 cm tissue lesion in the inferior pole of the thyroid’s left lobe. The patient was operated through a classical cervical inci-sion, extracting successfully a 6 cm brown lesion. The histopathological study has confirmed the diagnosis of a giant parathyroid adenoma weighing 84 g.
