Parathyroid cysts (PCs) are rare pathologies and are typically non-functional (do not secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH)). The aetiology of PCs is highly debated, and management is complex. We present a unique case of a parathyroid adenoma contained within a functional PC and highlight the limitations of intraoperative PTH monitoring during the surgical resection of functional PCs.
甲状旁腺囊肿(PCs)是罕见的病理情况,通常是无功能性的(不分泌甲状旁腺激素(PTH))。PCs 的病因存在广泛争议,其治疗管理也很复杂。我们报告了一个独特的病例,即一个功能性 PC 内包含甲状旁腺腺瘤,并强调了在功能性 PCs 的手术切除过程中,术中 PTH 监测的局限性。
