Abstract

Ectopic parathyroid adenoma sometimes poses diagnostic challenge and can be a cause of persistent and recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. Anterior mediastinum is one of the locations for ectopic parathyroid adenoma. Surgical excision is the only cure and for successful surgery, pre-operative localization is crucial. Chance of failed surgery is being increased without prior localization of the ectopic gland. The combination of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) has got high sensitivity for accurate localization of ectopic parathyroid. On the other hand, with accurate localization surgical outcome is excellent. Here we report, successful localization and management of a case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to adenoma in anterior mediastinum in 47-year-old man. IMC J Med Sci 2022; 16(2): 003.
