    Twenty percent of hyperparathyroidism patients had thyroid issues. Thyroid cancer was incidentally found during surgery, suggesting radiation exposure as a likely cause for this association.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hyperparathyroidism frequently co-occurs with thyroid pathology.
    • Previous theories attributed this association to hypercalcemia acting as a goitrogen.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between hyperparathyroidism and thyroid lesions.
    • To explore potential etiological factors, including radiation exposure.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 90 patients with hyperparathyroidism undergoing surgery.
    • Histopathological examination of thyroid tissue and incidental findings.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty of ninety patients (22.2%) presented with associated thyroid gland pathology.
    • Three cases of incidental thyroid carcinoma were discovered during surgery for hyperparathyroidism.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiation exposure is a probable significant factor in the association between thyroid lesions and hyperparathyroidism.
    • Routine inspection and management of thyroid nodules during hyperparathyroidism surgery are recommended.
