ABSTRACT

Parathyroid cysts (PCs) are rare lesions, located in the neck and anterior mediastinal region. The vast majority are non-functioning, presented as nodular cervical lesions. Large, non-functioning PCs can manifest with compressive symptoms of the surrounding tissues. Rarely, PCs produce excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism. We report a case of functional PC, describing its diagnostic and therapeutic approach.


Os cistos de paratireoide (PCs) são lesões raras, localizadas no pescoço e na região do mediastino anterior. A grande maioria é não funcionante, apresentando-se como lesões cervicais nodulares. PCs não funcionantes de grandes dimensões podem se manifestar com sintomas compressivos. Raramente, PCs produzem quantidades excessivas de hormônio da paratireoide (PTH), o que resulta em hiperparatiroidismo primário. Relatamos um caso de PC funcional, descrevendo sua abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica.
