title: [An unusual tumor of the mediastinum].
abstract: We report a case of dual parathyroid adenoma associated with an ectopic gland in the right latero-esophageal region of the mediastinum revealed by asymptomatic hypercalcemia. Because of this dual localization and the lack of MBI uptake on the mediastinal scintigram, thoracotomy was used as the first line approach instead of cervicotomy.
