Abstract

|
|
Background and Objectives : Parathyroid gland tumor is a relatively rare disease in Korea. The
purpose of our study is to assess the clinical features, diagnostic tools and therapeutic results.
Materials and Method : Seven patients with parathyroid gland tumor were analyzed retrospetivley.
They were diagnosed and received surgical therapy in our hospital from 1995 to 1999. The
patients were all female with mean age of 45.3 years(in the range of 21-64 years old.) We used
ultrasonography. computed tomograpy, magnetic resonance imaging, parathyroid scan and 18F-FDG
positron emission tomograph (PET) to identify the location of parathyroid gland neoplasm.
Results : All patients received proper surgical management. Three patients were diagnosed as
parathyroid carcinoma, three as parathyroid adenoma and one patient as cavernous hemangioma.
Two patients were found as recurrent rumor. Parathyroid carcinoma recurred in one patient, and
parathyroid hyperplasia occurred in patient who was previouslydiagnosed as parathyroid adenoma.
Conclusion : The results would be a useful guideline for better diagnostic strategies, proper
surgical management and follow-up study for recurrence in the parathyroid gland tumor.
