- Parathyroid cystic adenomas (PCAs) are rare, making up 0.5-1% of parathyroid adenomas and contributing to 1-2% of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) cases, prompting a study on their characteristics and associated risks.
- The study compared 17 patients with PHPT and parathyroid cysts to 100 patients with hyperparathyroidism due to other causes, focusing on various lab measurements before and after surgery.
- Findings indicated that patients with parathyroid cysts had significantly higher levels of PTH and calcium, suggesting they might be a unique risk factor for severe hypercalcemia, which can be potentially life-threatening.
