Methods of identification of parathyroid glands in thyroid surgery: A literature review

ANZ journal of surgery, 2021
Intra‐operative identification and preservation of parathyroid glands is an important but challenging aspect of thyroid surgery. Failure to do so may lead to transient or permanent hypocalcaemia, where the latter represents a serious complication causing

Localization of Parathyroid Glands

Annual Review of Medicine, 1988
Parathyroid localization tests are helpful for all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before parathyroid exploration, and they are essential for patients who have had previous parathyroid or thyroid operations. The selection of specific localization tests depends on whether the patient is undergoing an initial or a reoperative procedure, as ...

Lipoadenoma of the parathyroid gland

The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 1978
An unusual parathyroid adenoma containing abundant adipose tissue is described in four patients. In one patient, hyperparathyroidism was documented; in another, studies were incomplete but the adenoma was probably functioning. Prior reports of similar lesions have been called "parathyroid hamartoma or parathyroid adenoma with myxoid stroma," and some ...

Imaging of Parathyroid Glands

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Preoperative imaging studies have an important role in facilitating successful localization of adenomas for surgeons. Their use has increased and parallels the recent growth of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Based on findings that scintigraphy is reported to have the highest accuracy for localization of adenomas when compared with anatomic ...

A history of the parathyroid glands

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1995
Diseases of the parathyroid glands have always existed, affecting occasional individuals in every period and culture of the past. The significant changes in body build associated with their dysfunction must have attracted in the popular mind bewildering connotations that can be gleaned from their mythology.

FGF23 and the parathyroid glands

Pediatric Nephrology, 2010
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphatonin that is secreted by osteocytes and osteoblasts in response to hyperphosphatemia and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D). It acts on its receptor complex, Klotho-FGFR1c (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 c-splicing form), in the distal convoluted tubule to repress renal phosphorus reabsorption in the ...

The Parathyroid Gland

2014
Ultrasound (US) evaluation of the parathyroid glands is indicated in patients with borderline or elevated serum calcium levels to look for parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia. Once the lesion is identified, a USG-FNA is performed for cytology evaluation and measurement of parathormone levels in needle rinses. This chapter covers cytologic and histologic
