Ectopic parathyroid adenoma is a rare pathology. We present a clinical case of a giant ectopic parathyroid adenoma (PA) in an unusual location, which brought significant diagnostical and therapeutical challenges. The tumour in the mediastinum was found incidentally on chest computed tomography (CT). A biopsy was conducted, and histological examination revealed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumour. The tumour was excised via right thoracotomy. The final histological examination revealed a parathyroid adenoma, which was unexpected for our team. After three years of observation, there is no evidence of tumour recurrence.
甲状旁腺腺瘤是一种罕见的病理。我们报告了一个临床病例，即一个位于不常见部位的巨大异位甲状旁腺腺瘤（PA），这带来了重大的诊断和治疗挑战。在胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）中偶然发现纵隔中的肿瘤。进行了活检，组织学检查显示为分化良好的神经内分泌肿瘤。通过右开胸术切除了肿瘤。最终的组织学检查显示为甲状旁腺腺瘤，这出乎我们团队的意料。经过三年的观察，没有肿瘤复发的迹象。
