- Abstract
In a 69-year-old female patient with end-stage renal disease due to hypertension, parathormone level was found to be 2349 pg/ml. Corrected serum calcium and phosphorus levels were 9.9 mg/dl and 5.2 mg/dl, respectively. The findings of hand-wrist radiogram were consistent with hyperparathyroidism. In Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy, a focal increased activity consistent with an ectopic parathyroid adenoma was observed on upper mediastinum. Also in computerized thorax tomography nodular formation was observed on upper mediastinum, She was operated and the mass measuring 3x3 cm on upper mediastinum was totally excised. Histopathological evaluation confirmed parathyroid adenoma. Post-operative parathormone level decreased to 309 pg/ml.
