Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid: A case report of recurrent secondary hyperparathyroidism

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid is a common cause of recurrent and persistent hyperparathyroidism. Patients with recurrent and persistent hyperparathyroidism have elevated parathyroid hormone, which results in bone, vascular, and soft tissue ...

Trans-Subxiphoid Robotic Surgery for the Excision of an Ectopic Mediastinal Parathyroid Gland: A Technical Note With Video Vignette

Asian Journal of Surgery
Technique: Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid glands are typically accessible for removal through a cervical incision. However, when the cervical approach is impractical, alternative methods, including the trans-thoracic or trans-sternal routes, are ...

Robotic Resection of an Ectopic Parathyroid Gland: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

Cureus
Ectopic parathyroid glands result from abnormal migration during development. If not detected promptly, they can lead to persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Inferior parathyroid glands are typically located in the anterior mediastinum, while superior parathyroid glands are often near the tracheoesophageal groove, both of which ...

Ectopic Parathyroid Glands and Their Anatomical, Clinical and Surgical Implications

Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes, 2012
Ectopic parathyroid glands result from aberrant migration during early stages of development and lack of successful identification may lead to lack of success in parathyroid surgery. They constitute a common etiology of persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism, when they are missed at initial diagnosis.

Incidence of Ectopic Parathyroid Glands in Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism. [PDF]

J Surg Res
In patients undergoing surgery for hyperparathyroidism (HPT), ectopic parathyroid glands can often make the operation challenging. Understanding the most common locations of ectopic parathyroids may provide guidance if an abnormal gland cannot be found intraoperatively.

Acute Hyperparathyroid Crisis: Ectopic Submandibular Parathyroid Gland the Culprit.

Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2021
Parathyroid exploration via a focused approach or bilateral neck exploration should be considered in the management of all types of hyperparathyroidism. Eutopic and ectopic, single or multiple glands can pose challenges to the surgeon and available preoperative imaging modalities may not be equally applicable or appropriate in all cases.

Primary Hyperparathyroidism From Concurrent Parathyroid Hyperplasia and Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma: A Case Report [PDF]

Case Reports in Endocrinology
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), whether caused by an adenoma or hyperplasia, can be curative with parathyroidectomy. However, persistently elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) despite parathyroidectomy suggests multigland disease.

Recurrent Secondary Hyperparathyroidism After Parathyroidectomy Due to Anterior Mediastinum Ectopic Parathyroid Glands in a Peritoneal Dialysis Patient—A Case Report and Literature Review

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundSecondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is a reasonable option for patients with ESRD complicated by refractory SHPT, although only a few cases of ectopic ...
