[Parathyroid adenoma induced by cervical radiotherapy].
The authors report one case of parathyroid adenoma in a 59 years old woman having received a cervical radiation therapy 38 years previously for suspected Basedow's disease. The cause and effect relationship between the cervical radiation and the appearance of the parathyroid adenoma seems to be established in the light of animal experimentation on one hand, and identical results found in the medical litterature on the other hand.
