Introduction: Ectopic parathyroid adenomas represent an important cause of refractory hyperparathyroidism. While most ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas can be accessed through a transcervical approach, this is not always feasible, posing a significant challenge.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism.

A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital presenting with a sore throat, dyspnea, and cervical swelling. Initial precontrast CT scans revealed a cervical and mediastinal hematoma, along with a hemothorax.

Article Synopsis
  • * A 45-year-old woman, initially diagnosed with parathyroid adenoma, experienced a rise in hormone levels 2.5 years post-surgery, leading to further unsuccessful treatments before being referred for additional investigation.
  • * Ultimately, the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma was made after exploring the mediastinum, revealing metastases rather than the expected thyroid cancer spread, underscoring the need for careful follow-up in hyperparathyroidism cases.

The tumour in the mediastinum was found incidentally on chest computed tomography (CT).
