Article Abstract
Parathyroid cysts are rare lesions. A correct pre-operative diagnosis is rarely formulated. The Authors report a case of young woman with hyperparathyroidism do to a giant intrathyroidal parathyroid cyst. Aetiology, diagnosis and management are discussed.

Successful Radiofrequency Ablation of an Intrathyroidal Parathyroid Adenoma After Failed Parathyroidectomy.
AACE Clin Case Rep
August 2024
Department of Interventional Radiology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background/objective: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been increasingly used as an alternative to surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who are unable or unwilling to have surgery.
Case Report: We present a case of a 64-year-old woman who had surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism complicated by osteoporosis. Preoperative imaging with 4-dimensional computed tomography scan suggested multigland disease; however, she had persistent hyperparathyroidism after parathyroid exploration.
Parathyroid adenoma is a common endocrine disorder, but its intrathyroid presentation is relatively rare. The traditional approach, such as thyroid blind lobectomy, is the most frequent modality of treatment due to the possible unclear localization of the adenoma in the preoperative workup. This increases the risk of unnecessary probability of hypothyroidism.

Surgery is the preferred treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but the presence of MIBI-avid thyroid nodules can complicate the localization of parathyroid adenoma (PA). In this case report, we discuss the role of imaging in localizing PA in a patient with concurrent thyroid nodules. A 49-year-old female presented with hypercalcemia and elevated parathyroid hormone levels.

Aim: This article aimed to study the frequency and characteristics of ectopic/intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas in patients referred for 18 F-fluorocholine PET/computed tomography (CT).
Patients And Methods: From 11 June 2015 to 15 January 2024, 729 patients were studied. Recorded patient variables included hyperparathyroidism type, sex, age, presence of symptoms, renal involvement, bone involvement, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D as well as 24-h urine calcium excretion.
