ABSTRACT
@EN Mediastinal parathyroid tumors are a frequent cause of unsuccessful parathyroid surgery.
We have experienced 2 cases of mediastinal parathyroid adenomas during the past 10 years period from January 1983 to December 1992, which accounted for 8.3% of all 24 cases of hyperparathyroidism (22 primary, 1 secondary and 1 tertiary
hyperparathyroidism) during the same period. They were identified by preoperative localization studies (computed tomography, two of 2; selective angiography, one of 2) after failure of first or second neck exploration. One was removed via a
transcervical approach and the other via a median sternotomy.
To obtain a successful outcome of mediastinal parathyroid surgery, it is essential to be familiar with anatomical variations of the parathyroid glands and to take successful preoperative localization studies. (J Kor Soc Endocrinol 8:225~229,
