“…Indeed, the presence of ectopic parathyroid tissue is a possible cause of failed neck explorations in the treatment of PHPT 6 8 10 13 17. Some patients may undergo surgery and parathyroidectomy only to have persistent hypercalcaemia, reinforcing the need for proper localisation before surgery to ensure success rates 12…”

“…The reported prevalence of intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma varied from 1.4-6%. [15,16] Embryologically, parathyroid glands originate from the third and fourth branchial pouches and migrate caudally to their final positions. It is conceivable that aberrations during migration result in anomalous locations and the parathyroid is trapped within the thyroid as the lateral lobe of the thyroid fuses with the isthmus.…”

“…Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas are an uncommon cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and their prevalence varies from 1.4% to 6% 1 2. We present a case of a 42-year-old woman with residual PHPT, operated elsewhere, with localisation of parathyroid tumour on ultrasonography and sestamibi scintigraphy on the right side of the thyroid gland (figure 1).…”
