Abstract:
Parathyroid adenomas account for 85% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. In approximately 6-16% of cases, one or more hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands are in an ectopic location. The presence of an intrathyroidal parathyroid is a rare condition known for its preoperative and intraoperative diagnostic problems in localization. Hungry bone syndrome is a potentially preventable condition in postparathyroidectomy, which correlates with the weight of the resected adenoma. We report the case of an intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma in a 51-year-old woman with hypercalcemia requiring adequate preoperative correction before surgery.
