    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Pathology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Parathyroid cysts were infrequently reported until recently, with only 58 cases documented by 1967.
    • Increased recognition has led to a growing body of literature on this entity.
    • The authors report three new cases, bringing the global total to 149.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present three new cases of parathyroid cysts.
    • To discuss diagnostic challenges and methods for parathyroid cyst identification.
    • To review the potential origins and clinical associations of parathyroid cysts.

    Main Methods:

    • Histological examination of three parathyroid cyst cases.
    • Treatment via aspiration or surgical excision.
    • Analysis of fluid aspirates for parathormone and thyroxine levels.

    Main Results:

    • Three new cases of parathyroid cysts were identified and treated.
    • Clinical differentiation from thyroid cysts can be challenging.
    • Assays for parathormone and thyroxine in cyst fluid may not definitively distinguish origins.

    Conclusions:

    • Tissue diagnosis is essential for confirming parathyroid cysts.
    • Parathyroid cysts can arise from developmental remnants, microcyst coalescence, or adenoma degeneration.
    • Hyperparathyroidism is associated with cysts resulting from microcyst coalescence or adenoma degeneration.
