Parathyroid cysts are rare and even more rarely cause a neck mass resembling a goitre. Such large parathyroid cysts may involve the mediastinum, growing to a sufficient size to produce symptoms related to obstruction, and if functioning, primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid cysts should be considered in the list of differential diagnoses of anterior neck masses to allow for appropriate preoperative investigation to avoid unnecessary confusion at the time of operation. We report a case where a functioning parathyroid cyst presented as a retrosternal goitre to emphasize the potential pitfalls associated with their diagnosis and management.

“…Up to 1960 only a few cases of hypercalcaemic thyrotoxicosis had been recorded (Noble and Borg, 1936;Wijnbladh, 1937;Miller and Evans, 1942;Koenig et al, 1957;Epstein et al, 1958;Hubble, 1958). In half the cases the hypercalcaemia was attributed to thyrotoxicosis alone, but in the remainder there was associated hyperparathyroidism.…”

“…In most instances of clinical thyrotoxicosis, serum calcium levels remain within the usual range of normal. 46, 64 Rose and Boles 65 and others, 2,21,25,28,40,42,47,55,58,62,69,72 however, have reported hypercalcemia in thyrotoxicosis with disappearance during control of the hyperthyroidism. These rises were not associated with discernible changes in serum inorganic phosphorus and resemble those after various periods in our Na-DT 3-treated patients (who did not have hyperthyroidism).…”

Thyroid hormone‐like effects without thyrotoxicosis during one year's therapy with NA‐DT₃ for hypercholesterolemia

A thyroid hormone analogue, sodium dextro-triiodothyronine (NaDT3), at a dosage of 1 mg/day for 1 or 2 yr, decreased serum cholesterol levels about 30% in 26 hyperlipidemic adults. There were less sustained decreases in the serum phospholipids, and occasional lowering of the serum triglycerides, but no effects on body weight, blood pressure, or pulse rate. Changes recognized as variable concomitants of spontaneous or induced thyrotoxicosis, such as transient increases in fasting blood glucose, calcium, and globulin, persistent rises in alkaline phosphatase, and nonsustained decreases in hematocrit are consonant with the fact that Na-DT3 exerts about one tenth of the thyroid hormone activity of LT3. These changes, however, appear to represent actions of iodinated amino acids apart from those effects that result in clinical thyrotoxicosis.
