Intravagal ectopic parathyroid gland
, 2000 Aim of the study: The presence of an ectopic parathyroid gland is the commonest cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism (HPT). High cervical ectopic glands represent 0.21 to 9% of these cases. Only 3 cases of high intravagal sites have been described. The authors report two new cases of persistent HPT caused by an intravagal parathyroid gland. Patients

Incidence and Location of Ectopic Abnormal Parathyroid Glands
American Journal of Surgery, 2006Ectopic parathyroid glands are a cause for failed parathyroid exploration.Patients with hyperparathyroidism and ectopic parathyroid glands were identified from a parathyroid database. Laboratory data, gland weights, and surgical outcomes were obtained. The locations of the ectopic glands were correlated with results of technetium-99m-sestamibi imaging ...

Mediastinoscopic Extirpation of Mediastinal Ectopic Parathyroid Gland
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997We report a case of a 50-year-old man with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure who underwent extirpation of a mediastinal ectopic parathyroid gland by a transcervical approach under mediastinoscopy. This procedure provides an excellent approach to the mediastinal ectopic parathyroid gland, and is less invasive than median sternotomy ...

Parathyroid glands in major ectopic locations are rare but may present a considerable challenge to the endocrinologist, the radiologist, and the surgeon. The prevalence of parathyroid ectopias is unclear and is probably underestimated by failure to search for and identify these ectopic glands when they are normal.

Ectopic and Supernumerary Parathyroid Glands in Patients With Refractory Renal Hyperparathyroidism
Surgery, 2021The aims of this study were to determine the rate of ectopic and supernumerary parathyroid glands and the outcome of surgical therapy in patients with refractory renal hyperparathyroidism.A retrospective review of all patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for refractory renal hyperparathyroidism was completed.

Robotic Resection of Ectopic Parathyroid Glands in the Superior Posterior Mediastinum
Journal of Laparoendoscopic and Advanced Surgical Techniques - Part A, 2019Background: Ectopic parathyroid glands can present in a challenging location in the superior posterior mediastinum. Methods: Two patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were operated on for ectopic paraesophageal parathyroid glands in the superior posterior mediastinum.

Characteristics of Ectopic Parathyroid Glands in 145 Cases of Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Endocrine Practice, 2010To determine the prevalence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) arising from ectopic parathyroid glands, to analyze the clinical, biochemical, and anatomic characteristics of such cases, and to compare these characteristics with those found in PHPT associated with orthotopic parathyroid glands.We conducted a retrospective study of cases of PHPT ...
