Five cases of parathyroid cyst are presented and the literature concerning this rare entity is reviewed. Three of the five cysts were located in the neck and were non-functioning. The other two were in the anterior mediastinum and functioning, and indeed were associated with hypercalcemic crisis. Four cases were treated surgically, and in one non-functioning parathyroid cyst both diagnosis and treatment were accomplished with fine-needle aspiration. The cystic appearance, color of the fluid contents, high content of parathyroid hormone and histologic features distinguish parathyroid cyst from the much commoner thyroid cyst. Non-functioning parathyroid cysts can be treated with fine-needle aspiration, whereas functioning cysts require surgical removal.
本文报告了5例甲状旁腺囊肿，并对有关这一罕见疾病的文献进行了综述。5例囊肿中有3例位于颈部，无功能。另外2例位于前纵隔，有功能，且确实与高钙血症危象相关。4例接受了手术治疗，其中1例无功能的甲状旁腺囊肿通过细针穿刺完成了诊断和治疗。甲状旁腺囊肿的囊性外观、囊液颜色、甲状旁腺激素高含量及组织学特征使其有别于更为常见的甲状腺囊肿。无功能的甲状旁腺囊肿可用细针穿刺治疗，而有功能的囊肿则需要手术切除。
