Thoracoscopic approach in the treatment of ectopic thymic parathyroid adenoma.
VIDEOSURGERY AND OTHER MINIINVASIVE TECHNIQUES(2018)
摘要
Primary hyperparathyroidism is overproduction of parathyroid hormone, causing hypercalcemia. Parathyroid adenomas have been found to be the etiology for 80% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, while almost a quarter of them are ectopic. We present a case of ectopic thymic parathyroid adenoma, treated by the thoracoscopic approach. Preoperative computed tomogram and technetium-99-sestamibi imaging showed an adenoma, located in the front mid-mediastinum, approximately 8 x 10 mm in size. Resection of the tumor was indicated according to the persistent hypercalcemia after unsuccessful surgical treatment performed 3 years ago. It was decided to perform a parathyroidectomy during thoracoscopy. The diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma was established on postoperative histopathology staining. The patient was discharged from hospital 5 days after the surgery. We found this minimally invasive operation to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option, determined by the experience of the surgeon.
