ABSTRACT

In this study we wanted to present a case with the history of multiple previous neck explorations and persisting upper mediastinal ectopic parathyroid adenoma who underwent a successful operation with radioguided minimal invasive approach.

Keywords:
Hyperparathyroidism, adenoma, minimally invasive, radioimmunodetection
