Parathyroid cysts, a rare condition: case report

Acta Endo (Buc) 2009, 5 (3): 411-415
doi: 10.4183/aeb.2009.411

Parathyroid cysts are a rare medical condition, that is why they represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the practitioner. We report a case of nonfunctional symptomatic parathyroid cyst in a 36-year old woman revealed by an anterior cervical swelling. There was a high concentration of parathormone (PTH) within the cyst fluid extracted before surgery (PTH 426 pg/mL).

Keywords: parathyroid, cyst, case report, therapeutic approaches
