Although parathyroid fine-needle aspiration (P-FNA) with parathyroid hormone (PTH) washout is effective in detecting preoperative parathyroid lesions, it also presents risks such as fibrosis, hematoma, and, in rare cases, tumor seeding. This study aimed to investigate whether P-FNA with PTH washout leads to the seeding of parathyroid cells along the path of the needle. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing minimally invasive parathyroidectomy guided by preoperative PTH washout.
