“…The As first and most probable diagnosis, the patient's age and gender suggest hemorrhage in thyroid formation, because the prevalence of thyroid diseases in Bulgaria is high. The prevalence of nodular goiter in the Bulgarian population is 24.4% (32.1% in females and 15.7% in males), increasing to above 50% in females > 70 years of age [10]. Therefore, thyroid gland formation was the initial diagnosis at the admission and sclerosing of the cyst was planned because the patient refused surgical treatment.…”

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease after diabetes and osteoporosis. It is more common in women and its prevalence increases with age. PHPT is associated with parathyroid adenoma or cancer or paraneoplastic parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. PHPT can be asymptomatic or present with nephrolithiasis, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis, bone lesions and rarely – as a palpable formation in the cervical area. We present a 73-year-old female patient with cystic cervical lesion with high levels of PTH in the evacuated fluid contents. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the diagnostic algorhythm in cystic cervical lesions.
