parathyroid adenomas, or hyperplasia may be present in patients with hypercalcemia. treatment is by surgical excision, but about 10% of the lesions may be in ectopic locations. pre-operative localization of the lesions with non-lvasive imaging, using radionuclides, ultrasound, ct, or mr], may simplify surgery, and reduce patient morbidity. however, the reports of the accuracy of the currently a...

case presentation: this case illustrated the development of secondary and subsequently tertiary hyperparathyroidism in a 66-year-old man with a history of chronic renal failure. the patient was managed surgically by parathyroid autotransplantation and serial explantation. discussion: refractory hypercalcemia due to autonomous parathyroid tissue following parathyroidectomy can be managed with gr...

conclusions radiofrequency ablation may be used successfully in the treatment of parathyroid adenoma when a patient cannot tolerate surgery. case presentation a 47-year-old patient was referred to our hospital (namazi hospital, shiraz, iran) in april, 2015 with intracranial hemorrhage, as well as high serum calcium and pth (parathyroid hormone) levels (12.1 mg/dl and 1062 pg/ml, respectively), ...

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 34 year old woman with malaise, polyuria and nocturia as well as nausea and vomiting referred to perform a thyroid scan due to right thyroid lobe mass. The scan showed a cold nodule in the right thyroid lobe. Serum calcium of 16.9, serum phosphorus of 1.8 and PTH of 1156 were noticed in laboratory tests. Parathyroid scan with 99mTc-MIBI showed no abnormal tracer activity in the nec...

conclusions the recurrence of hyperparathyroid hypercalcemia in htp-jt syndrome after an initial total parathyroidectomy is a well-known condition necessitating careful management, an evaluation of any underlying genetic abnormality, and a family examination. a surgical treatment and surveillance of calcium and pth measurements are necessary to prevent a recurrence. introduction cancer in the p...

Minerals play an essential role in the normal vital process.Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium are the most abundant minerals. Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone play a key role in regulation of their homeostasis as well. The aim of this study was to evaluate calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone on 30 Caspian horses of Guilan Province (south of the Caspian Sea) in two...

Parathyroid cancer is a rare malignancy originating from the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in body. This review article aims to provide comprehensive overview of cancer, including its epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, treatment options, and prognosis. The also highlights recent advancements research potential future directions for improving m...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The effects of calcitriol and paricalcitol on circulating levels of intact parathyroid hormone, parathyroid hormone-(1-84), the large carboxy-terminal-parathyroid hormone fragments, and the parathyroid hormone-(1-84)/carboxy-terminal-parathyroid hormone fragments were studied. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In the longitudinal study, 31 hemodialysis pa...
