Abstract:
The Authors review the world literature on parathyroid cysts and report a case of this uncommon disease. The importance of an early pre-operative diagnosis by ultrasound, blood calcium level and parathyroid hormone assay with fine needle aspiration biopsy is pointed out. According to several surgeons, only the functioning parathyroid cysts require operation; needle aspiration may be appropriate therapy for the nonfunctioning ones.
