title: [Spontaneous cervical haematoma due to extracapsular haemorrhage of a parathyroid adenoma: a report of 2 cases].
abstract: The usual clinical manifestations of a parathyroid adenoma are due, in most of the cases, to hypercalcemia. The development of a spontaneous cervical or cervicomediastinal haematoma is a rare form of presentation. In case of a spontaneous cervical haematoma associated with dysphagia: measurement of serum calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone allows the diagnosis of haematoma due to extracapsular haemorrhage from a parathyroid adenoma. We report herein 2 cases.
