Paraoesophageal ectopic parathyroid adenoma: an unusual case by Tanvi Dabke, George Varughese

“…Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a relatively common endocrine condition, with solitary parathyroid adenomas accounting for over 80% of cases.1,2 10–22% of cases can be ectopic because of deviation of the parathyroid from the normal pathway of embryological descent.1,3 Ectopic parathyroid adenomas can be difficult to localise preoperatively given the variety of possible anatomical sites, posing challenges for surgical intervention.3,4 Case presentation: We describe the case of a 68-year-old man with a left-sided paraoesophageal ectopic parathyroid adenoma. …”
