Spontaneous cervical hematomas could lead to life-threatening complications, and aneurysms, retopharyngeal abscesses, parathyroid adenomas, laryngeal cysts, and neurogenic tumors should be distinguished as possible underlying causes. Symptoms accompanying spontaneous cervical hematoma include cervical swelling, ecchymosis, dysphagia, dyspnea and hoarseness. We recently experienced a case of spontaneous cervical hematoma in a 52-year-old woman, who initially presented with cervical swelling after severe coughing two days ago. Resultingly parathyroid adenoma was finally confirmed after mass excision. Therefore, we present this unique case with a review of the literature.

Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas or hyperplasias account for up to 25% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Most abnormal parathyroid glands are found in the superior mediastinum within the thymus and can be removed through a cervical incision; however, a few of these glands are not accessible using standard cervical surgical approaches. Surgical resection has traditionally been performed via median sternotomy or thoracotomy. However, recent advancement in video-assisted thoracic surgery techniques has decreased the need for sternotomy or thoracotomy to remove these ectopic parathyroid glands. Here, we report a successful case of video-assisted thoracoscopic removal of a mediastinal parathyroid adenoma.

The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is a single adenoma accounts for more than 85% and about 1-2% in multiple occurrence. The adenoma arises mainly in the neck and rarely in the mediastinum. The simultaneous occurrence is extremely rare. A 73-year-old man came to our clinic complained about sense of falling forward during last eight months. The brain MRI and vestibular function test showed non-specific findings but total calcium and intact parathyroid hormone levels were markedly elevated. Radiologic studies and sesta-MIBI scan revealed multiple masses in lower paratracheal area and superior mediastinum. We performed mass excision with transcervical approach and all of them were diagnosed as parathyroid adenoma. After surgery, intact PTH and calcium levels returned to the normal range and his symptoms were dramatically improved. We report the unique and rare disease entity with a brief literature review.

Parathyroid tumors may be difficult to distinguish from thyroid follicular lesions, especially when a tumor is nonfunctioning. We report here two cases of asymptomatic parathyroid carcinoma preoperatively misdiagnosed as thyroid follicular lesions, and one case of parathyroid adenoma showing hyperparathyroidism, and review the cytologic features favoring the diagnosis of parathyroid neoplasm. The cytologic findings that are characterized by clean background, monomorphic small cells, cohesive three-dimensional papillary clusters, small tight clusters with scattered naked nuclei, and well-defined clear cytoplasm favor a diagnosis for the parathyroid lesions. Cytologic findings such as macrofollicular structure, presence of colloid and macrophages, and presence of perivacuolar cytoplasmic granules on May-Grunwald-Giemsa stain support a diagnosis of a thyroid follicular lesion. The cytomorphology of parathyroid tumors is so variable that the distinction from a thyroid lesion cannot be based on the presence or absence of a single feature only but on the cytologic features as a whole.

$^{99m}Tc$-MIBI는 adenoma뿐만 아니라, hyperplasia, carcinoma에서 방사능섭취가 증가된다. 이에 본 연구는 $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI로 국소화 된 병소를 정량화함으로써, 조직검사로 확진된 adenoma, hyperplasia 그리고 carcinoma를 후향적으로 분석 하였다. 2002년 4월부터 2009년 1월까지 부산대병원에서 조직검사결과 adenoma, hyperplasia, carcinoma로 확진된 환자 27명 (Male: 6, Female: 21, Mean age: 47.5)을 대상으로 Adac사의 Solus Epic 장비를 이용하여 Double-phase $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI parathyroid scan(조기 영상 15분, 지연영상 2시간)을 실시하였다. ADAC Laboratories, Ver. 4.20 software를 이용하여 지연영상에서 병변 부위와 비 병변(L/NL)부위에 각각 관심 영역을 설정하였고, 조기 영상에서도 같은 크기, 같은 위치에 관심영역을 설정하였다. 또한, 병변 부위에 종축을 설정하였다. 각각의 관심 영역에서 평균값(Mean value)으로 병변 대 비병변의 섭취율비(L/NL ratio)을 구하고, 배출률(%, washout rate)은 (조기영상방사능계수치-조기영상방사능계수치)/지연영상방사능계수치${\times}100$의 공식으로 구하였으며, count profile을 이용해 종축의 길이를 측정하였다. 조기 영상에서 병변 대 비병변의 섭취율비(L/NL ratio)는 adenoma가 $1.53{\pm}0.41$, hyperplasia가 $1.38{\pm}0.27$, carcinoma가 $1.45{\pm}0.64$로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 지연영상에서 병변 대 비병변의 섭취율비(L/NL ratio)는 adenoma가 $1.56{\pm}0.43$, hyperplasia가 $1.33{\pm}0.10$, carcinoma가 $1.83{\pm}0.79$로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 병소부위의 종축길이는 adenoma가 $2.11{\pm}0.67$, hyperplasia가 $2.23{\pm}0.75,$ carcinoma가 $2.20{\pm}0.97$로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 그리고, 배출률(%, washout rate)은 adenoma가 $31.59{\pm}13.97$, hyperplasia가 $37.8{\pm}5.69$, carcinoma가 $17.73{\pm}11.02$로 hyperplasia가 carcinoma 보다 의미있게 높았다(p<0.05, p=0.028 by Kruskal-willis statistic, Dunn's Multiple comparison test). 이는 hyperplasia와 carcinoma를 감별하는데 도움이 되었다.

$^{201}Tl-^{99m}Tc$ 감영스캔이 시행되었던 65명의 환자에서 $^{201}Tl-^{99m}Tc$ 감영스캔의 진단적 가치와 위 음성과 위 양성의 원인에 대해 조사하였다. 이들 중 21예가 부갑상선선종으로 확진되었고, 이들에서 $^{201}Tl-^{99m}Tc$ 감영스캔의 예민도는 90.5%, 특이도는 97.6%였다. 위 음성을 보인 예는 낭종성 괴사를 보인 부갑상선선종과 크기가 $1.5{\times}1{\times}0.8 cm$ 정도로 작은 종양이었다. 위 양성을 보인 1예는 무 기능성 갑상선종이었다. 결론적으로 $^{201}Tl-^{99m}Tc$ 감영스캔은 부갑상선 종괴를 찾아내는데 특이도와 예민도가 높은 검사로 생각된다.

Thymoma is the most common anterior mediastinal mass in adult, and arises from thymic epithelial cells which includes consists various proportions of epithelial and lymphocytic aspect. Thymic epithelial cell arises from the ventral wings of the third and fourth branchial pouches in the embryo, and these cells are considered tumorous condition of thymoma. Surgical resection is main treatment of thymoma. And adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation is considered due to postoperative pathologic diagnosis. We experienced a tumor which located from left anterior neck along superior mediastinum on chest radiograph incidentally and diagnosed parathyroid adenoma clinically. After surgical removal, final pathologic report was thymoma. Here, we present the case with a review of the related literatures.

A 57 year old female patient was diagnosed as primary hyperparathyroidism after incidental finding of hypercalcemia. She was treated with radioiodine for Graves disease twenty years ago. Preoperative localization procedures with sonography and CT were unrevealing but 201 thallium scintiscan clearly demonstrated ectopic parathyroid adenoma which was confirmed by surgery. Brief review of the preoperative parathyroid localization procedure was done and the relationship between radioiodine therapy and hyperparathyroidism was discussed.

The parathyroid gland is probably the simplest endocrine organ in the body. The only cells of clinical significance are the parathyroid or chief cells. The primary signal that these cells listen to is calcium. Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to a parathyroid adenoma. The most common cause of hypercalcemia in veterinary medicine is hypercalcemia of malignancy associated with variety of neoplasms. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is due to a disease process, most commonly associated with renal and nutritional hyperparathyroidism. Primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism are markedly different in their clinical, laboratory, and pathogenic mechanism.

A large superior mediastinal mass was found incidentally by ultrasonography in a 60-year-old man. There was an abnormal accumulation of Tl-201 in the lower pole of left thyroid gland, extending into left superior mediastinum on Tc-99m pertechnetate/Tl-201 subtraction scan. Laboratory findings relating thyroid and parathyroid were all within normal range. We considered the mass as a non-functioning parathyroid adenoma tentatively. However, subsequent surgery and pathologic examination revealed the mass to be a benign mixed thymoma. We report a case of patient with thymoma showing unusual Tc-99m pertechnetate/Tl-201 subtraction imaging and laboratory findings, and suggest to consider the possibility of other mediastinal tumors rather than parathyroid adenoma.
