[Intrathyroid parathyroid adenomas].

The authors present 27 cases of intrathyroid adenomas of the parathyroid glands that made up 22.68% of 119 patients operated on for parathyroid tumors. Clinical manifestations of primary hyperparathyrosis were diagnosed in 10 out of 27 patients. In 17 of these patients the hormonal-inactive parathyroid adenomas, detected accidentally during operations for different diseased of the thyroid gland, were ablated. The authors stress a careful revision of the thyroid to be necessary in order to exclude an intrathyroid localization of parathyroid neoplasms which can result in persistence of the disease if not ablated.
