  • Title: Parathyroid cysts. Report of four cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Rangnekar N, Bailer WJ, Ghani A, Carbonell FA, Nowak M.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1996; 81(4):412-4. PubMed ID: 9127808.
    Abstract:
    Though a rare lesion, a parathyroid cyst is of clinical significance because it mimics a thyroid cyst and can be associated with hyperparathyroidism. The cyst can be ectopic in location and therefore constitutes a differential diagnosis to a bronchial or thymic cyst. Four cases of parathyroid cyst are presented. Fine needle aspiration with parathyroid hormone assay is diagnostic. Surgical removal of the cyst is recommended.
