Coexistence of a large functioning parathyroid cyst with papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Parathyroid cysts constitute a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). PHPT may also rarely coexist with non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC). We describe a case of a 70-year-old woman who was diagnosed with PHPT, on the occasion of nephrolithiasis (corrected calcium and PTH levels: 10.8 mg/dl and 187 pg/ml, respectively). Ultrasonographic and scintigraphic investigation confirmed the diagnosis of a large parathyroid cyst attached to the lower pole of the right thyroid lobe and, consequently, the p… Show more

“…Lastly, some case reports report anecdotal associations and features such as thyroid and parathyroid carcinoma (intrathyroidal), parathyroid adenoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma and thyroid adenoma in a pregnant woman, medullary thyroid carcinoma, PTC and PHPT due to PA, the Hobnail variant of PTC and PHPT, follicular thyroid carcinoma, PTC and PHPT, functioning parathyroid cysts, and PHPT [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

“…In approximately 90% of cases, cysts are nonfunctional and hyperparathyroidism is not observed. Patients often present with neck swelling and sometimes mistakenly diagnosed as thyroid nodules 2. In the diagnosis, neck ultrasonography (USG) and Tc-99m MIBI parathyroid SPECT/CT imaging methods are frequently used.…”
