Visual Parathyroid Identification in Thyroidectomy: A Decision Curve Analysis of Gland Preservation
Intraoperative visual identification remains the standard approach to parathyroid preservation during thyroidectomy, yet its accuracy has rarely been quantified against an objective reference. Among 50 suspected parathyroid specimens verified by fine‐needle aspiration PTH washout, expert consensus visual identification achieved 84.0% sensitivity but ...

Pericardial Parathyroid Adenoma
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a prevalent endocrine condition that presents with significant clinical symptoms. Ectopic adenomas commonly occur in the tracheo-esophageal groove, thymus, intrathyroidal, and mediastinum. While mediastinal ectopic adenomas are frequently observed, pericardial ectopic adenomas are only documented in case reports in
