An ectopic parathyroid gland in the left axillary region: case report.

International surgery, 2004
This is a review of ectopic localizations of the parathyroid gland in one case. A hard mobile mass (2 x 2.5 cm) was detected on the right side of the neck of a patient who had previously been given a diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. Computed tomography showed an adenoma (25 x 35 mm) in the paratracheal region on the right side of the neck ...

Hyperparathyroidism: Ectopic parathyroid glands

The American Journal of Surgery, 1976
A patient with a parathyroid adenoma located beneath the throid capsule and within a benign thyroid adenoma is reported on. To the best of our knowledge, this lesion has not previously been reported. This case points out the difficulties that may be encountered when it is necessary to locate a missing parathyroid gland in a patient with multinocular ...

Multiple Ectopic Parathyroid Glands

The American Surgeon, 2000
Parathyroid surgery to correct primary hyperparathyroidism is successful in 80 to 97 per cent of initial explorations. Failures are often linked to inability to locate ectopic parathyroid glands. Although ectopic parathyroid glands are relatively common (15%) multiple ectopic glands are rarely reported.

Thoracoscopic resection of ectopic parathyroid glands

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
The vast majority of parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism can be resected through a cervical approach. In approximately 2% of the cases, the ectopic gland is in the mediastinum in a location that requires a thoracic approach.We report 7 such cases that were resected using video-assisted thoracic surgery to avoid the need for an open surgical ...

An Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma Mimicking Submandibular Gland on 99mTc-MIBI Parathyroid Scintigraphy

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2022
Abstract A 67-year-old woman complained of continuous low back pain for 4 months. She was referred for a 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy with neck SPECT/CT imaging. The planar images showed no abnormal uptake. However, on the SPECT/CT scan, a soft tissue nodule with high uptake was noted adjacent to the left submandibular gland, mimicking

Aortopulmonary ectopic parathyroid gland and concurrent thymolipoma

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2016
Ectopic parathyroid adenomas are considered the main cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. However, concurrent parathyroid and thymic pathologies are rarely diagnosed in the same patient. A 47-year-old man with history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and myasthenia gravis presented with persistent hypercalcemia.

Ectopic Parathyroid Gland Localization with Thallium-201 SPECT

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1987
Dual isotope Tl-201/Tc-99m subtraction is a useful technique for localization of abnormal parathyroid glands. A case of tomographic localization of nonsubtracted Tl-201 to a mediastinal parathyroid is reported and the possible benefit of this method discussed.

A Case of Ectopic Parathyroid Gland Hyperplasia in the Pyriform Sinus

Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2002
Variability in the location of parathyroid glands is well recognized. There are usually 4 parathyroid glands located in the area of the thyroid gland, but embryologically, they may be found anywhere from the angle of the jaw to the pericardium. We report a case of an ectopic parathyroid gland in the pyriform sinus.

Minimally Invasive Resection for Mediastinal Ectopic Parathyroid Glands

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
We reviewed our experience with ectopic mediastinal parathyroidectomy.Between March 1980 and September 2010, mediastinal parathyroidectomy was performed in 33 patients with hypercalcemia secondary to hyperparathyroidism.Primary hyperparathyroidism was the main diagnosis in 32 patients (97%).
