In the primary hyperparathyroidism the vast majority of enlarged parathyroid glands may be excised by cervicotomy. Rarely the excision of ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma, not accessible by cervical incision, necessitates another approach for parathyroidectomy. We report herein the case of primary hyperparathyroidism due to mediastinal adenoma treated by sternotomy with review of the literature for different modalities of treatment for mediastinal localization.
在原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症中，绝大多数增大的甲状旁腺可通过颈部切开术切除。很少有情况下，异位纵隔甲状旁腺腺瘤无法通过颈部切口切除，因此需要另一种甲状旁腺切除术方法。我们在此报告一例因纵隔腺瘤导致的原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症患者，通过胸骨切开术进行治疗，并回顾了关于纵隔定位不同治疗方式的文献。
