title: [Anatomic localization of parathyroid adenomas. Experience of 1200 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism].
abstract: From 1969 to December 1988 1200 patients were successfully operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism. In 1086 cases the parathyroid lesion was an adenoma and in 252 cases (23.2%) we considered this adenoma in an unusual location. Analysis of the patient's records enables us to describe the operative difficulties for each of those locations, and to assess the value of complementary investigations in the patients whose adenomas are difficult to find.
