Title: Radiation-associated recurrent parathyroid adenoma. Author: Rajatanavin R, Stock JL, Lutton CE, Emerson CH. Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1985 Jan; 145(1):154-5. PubMed ID: 3970630.

The interval between the development of the first and second adenomas was 20 years. Although an association between head and neck irradiation and primary hyperparathyroidism is known, we believe this to be the first report of recurrent hyperparathyroidism in an irradiated patient.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
