title: [Parathyroid cyst in the differential diagnosis of neck masses. A case report].
abstract: Parathyroid cysts are rarely seen in clinical practice. They should always be included in the differential diagnosis of neck masses. Conclusive diagnosis should be established by fine-needle aspiration (FNA), a procedure that is useful for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.We report the case of girl who aroused clinical suspicion of thyroid node. However, the diagnosis of parathyroid cyst was subsequently confirmed by FNA.
