Ectopic or supernumerary parathyroid tissue has been generally described in the literature in cases found during workup for parathyroid adenoma. We present two unique cases of intratracheal parathyroid gland, a rare occurrence that has not yet been described in the literature. In both cases, the masses were found incidentally and showed no clinical or laboratory evidence of hyperparathyroidism. In both cases, surveillance was chosen as the method of treatment. We present this case series to increase awareness of this potential diagnosis.
异位或多余甲状旁腺组织通常在甲状旁腺腺瘤检查过程中发现的病例中被文献所描述。我们报告了两例独特的气管内甲状旁腺，这是一种罕见的情况，尚未在文献中描述。在这两种情况下，肿块都是偶然发现的，没有甲状旁腺功能亢进的临床或实验室证据。在这两种情况下，选择监测作为治疗方法。我们提出这个病例系列，以提高对这种潜在诊断的认识。
