    Abstract:
    A case of a parathyroid cyst associated with an adenoma in a different gland is reported. A 55-year-old female was explored with preoperative diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism after endoscopic removal of a right ureteral stone. The operation revealed a cyst, 20 x 10 mm in size at the left lower gland, and a solid tumor, 32 x 12 x 7 mm in size and 1,300 mg in weight in the left upper gland. Histological examination disclosed a parathyroid cyst and an oxyphilic and chief cell adenoma, respectively. Postoperative course was uneventful including normalized serum Ca level. To our knowledge, 59 cases of parathyroid cysts have been reported in the Japanese literature, of which 31 were in the hyperparathyroid status. The most common causes were cystic degeneration of the adenomas. A parathyroid cyst with a concomitant adenoma in a different gland like our case is very rare. This is the first reported case in Japan and the sixth reported case in the world literature.
