We have reviewed the clinical and pathological records of 4 patients presenting for treatment of parathyroid cyst in Auckland between 1970 and 1987. The mean age of the patients was 60.5 years and 3 patients presented with symptomatic hyperparathyroidism (2 male and 1 female patient) and 1 female patient presented with a neck mass and tracheal compression. All cysts were unilocular and filled with clear fluid (mean cyst diameter was 1.5 cm and mean cyst weight was 5.55 g). Four out of the 5 cysts were located in the inferior neck. Of the three patients with hyperparathyroidism, 2 patients had associated parathyroid adenoma (1 patient having bilateral cystic adenomas) and 1 patient had hyperplasia of the remaining glandular tissue. We conclude that parathyroid cyst is an uncommon clinical problem of uncertain aetiology affecting middle aged and elderly patients.
我们回顾了1970年至1987年间在奥克兰接受甲状旁腺囊肿治疗的4例患者的临床和病理记录。患者的平均年龄为60.5岁，3例患者表现为症状性甲状旁腺功能亢进（2例男性和1例女性患者），1例女性患者表现为颈部肿块和气管受压。所有囊肿均为单房性，充满清澈液体（平均囊肿直径为1.5 cm，平均囊肿重量为5.55 g）。5个囊肿中有4个位于颈部下方。在3例甲状旁腺功能亢进患者中，2例伴有甲状旁腺腺瘤（1例为双侧囊性腺瘤），1例其余腺组织增生。我们得出结论，甲状旁腺囊肿是一种病因不明的罕见临床问题，影响中年和老年患者。
