Mediastinal, cystic and functional parathyroid adenoma in patients with double parathyroid adenomas: a case report.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is usually caused by single adenoma. Ectopic adenomas are a frequent cause of recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid cysts are rarely seen and most of them are non functional. This case report describes a patient with double adenoma, one is solid and cervical, the other is cystic and located in mediastinum; both of them are functional.
