This study aims to determine the frequency of coexisting thyroid gland lesions in a consecutive series patients with PHPT, and to analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Twenty-two cases of a total of 52 PHPT patients who had synchronous thyroid and parathyroid pathology were surgically managed in this study. Thirteen patients had ipsilateral thyroid nodules, and 9 patients had thyroid nodules in contralateral or bilateral side. Seven patients underwent direct parathyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy via a mini-incision (about 3 cm), while other 15 procedures were converted to Kocher incision. Seventeen nodular goiter (32.7%), 2 thyroiditis (3.8%), 2 thyroid adenoma (3.8%) and 1 thyroid carcinoma (1.9%) coexisting with parathyroid adenoma were pathologically diagnosed. The sensitivity of preoperative ultra-sonography (US) and methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (MIBI) scintigraphy for parathyroid lesions was 63.6% and 85.7%; and the overall positive predictive values for MIBI and US were 100% and 95.5% respectively. A high incidence of thyroid diseases that coexisted with PHPT in literatures was briefly reviewed. Our study illustrated the need for clinical awareness of concomitant PHPT and thyroid disease. A combination of US, computed tomography (CT) and MIBI scintigraphy would be recommended for preoperative localization of enlarged parathyroid adenoma and for evaluation of thyroid lesions. Synchronous treatment of asso-ciated thyroid abnormalities is desirable, and open minimally invasive surgical approach with additional resection of isolated ipsilateral thyroid nodules is possible in some of these patients.展开更多

Methods Ninety-two consecutive patients, diagnosed as hyperparathyroidism and presented with hypercalcaemia as the predominant symptom, were included. All the patients underwent dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy using 99Tcm-sestamibi and parathyroid ultrasound scan. Among them, 48 patients underwent parathyroid computed tomography (CT). All patients were referred for parathyroidectomy. Results 99Tcm-sestamibi dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy revealed the diagnostic sensitivity of 76.5%, 80%, 75% and 33.3% for the subgroup of single adenomas, multiple adenomas, ectopic parathyroid and parathyroid hyperplasia respectively. The specificity was 100% for all leisons. 99Tcm-sestamibi dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy was proved to be superior to the other imaging modalities (ultrasound and CT) in terms of the preoperative diagnostic accuracy. The lesion weight was found to be an underlying factor leading to the false negative result. Conclusion 99Tcm-sestamibi dual-phase parathyroid scintigraphy was found to have higher diagnostic accuracy in comparison with other imaging modalities and is recommended preoperatively in order to reduce the sugery time and unnecessary neck exploration.展开更多
