Parathyroid hyperplasia associated with thymoma.
The case of a 65 year old female with myasthenia gravis and hypercalcaemia is presented. Failure of medical control of the myasthenia necessitated thymectomy at which time parathyroid exploration was also carried out. This revealed parathyroid hyperplasia and a thymoma. This association has not been previously documented in the literature.
متن کاملConcurrent Parathyroid Carcinoma and Hyperplasia in Hyperparathyroidism
To the Editor, Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare disease that accounts for less than 1% of all hyperparathyroidism [1]. The incidence of parathyroid carcinoma is extremely low, although the apparent incidence of hyperparathyroidism increased after the introduction of multi-channel autoanalyzers. If increased serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are sustained postoperatively, metasta...
متن کاملIntrathyroidal parathyroid hyperplasia in tertiary hyperparathyroidism
We report herein a case of intrathyroidal parathyroid hyperplasia in a patient with tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The patient was recommended for parathyroidectomy due to sustained hypercalcemia after kidney transplantation. Preoperative radiologic evaluations showed a benign-looking thyroid mass and three enlarged parathyroid glands. Intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level and f...
متن کاملThe microscopical pathology of primary parathyroid hyperplasia.
The microscopical pathology of the two types of primary parathyroid hyperplasia is reviewed. The importance of the differential diagnosis between chief cell hyperplasia and adenoma is stressed. The problems of the surgical pathologist in masking this differential diagnosis of a biopsy, especially on a frozen section sample, are discussed.
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of 4D-CT for parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 4D-CT is a novel method of multiphase CT imaging. When used to localize parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia, this technique may allow for more robust diagnostic accuracy than traditional sonography and nuclear scintigraphy techniques. The purpose of our study is to assess the accuracy of 4D-CT for localizing pathologically proved parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia foun...
