Establishment of a Simple and Effective Rat Model for Intraoperative Parathyroid Gland Imaging
Published on: August 17, 2022
Abstract:
The study of one case of parathyroid cancer and a literary review permitted to state the following characteristics: it is a rare but not exceptional tumor. The endocrine syndrome represented by a hypercalcemia is frequently severe present. The tumor syndrome is often associated with locoregional invasion or metastasis. Clinical signs of malignity are as important as the anatomopathologic data. The surgical treatment is essential after a mecal hypocalcemic preparation. Thus, the prognosis may be good if the carcinologic rules are respected.
