Synchronous parathyroid adenoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 51-year-old female patient presented with atypical chest pain, laryngo-oesophageal reflux, increased levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone. Ultrasonography showed a multinodular goiter with a prominent solid nodule in the lower left thyroid lobe and a solid hypoechoic nodule outside this area.Tc99m-sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy was performed to investigate a primary hyperparathyroidism, revealing an area with increased uptake in the lower left thyroid lobe and another area with marked uptake lower than this level. Thyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc showed a cold nodule of the left lower pole. FNA of the thyroid nodule was positive for papillary carcinoma later verified by postoperative histopathology.This case underlines the need for a clinical high index of suspicion for synchronous hyperparathyroidism and thyroid cancer.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) affects 0.5%-1% of the adult population and presents with classical signs of renal lithiasis, cholecystolithiasis, gastrointestinal ulcerations, depression, and osteoporosis. Parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia and rarely carcinoma are the underlying pathology. Synchronous thyroid and parathyroid pathologies are described in multiple endocrine neoplasia. We report...
