ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The combination of thyroid cancer and secondary uremic hyperparathyroidism has thus far been reported in only 25 cases.METHODS:
Here we report our experience of 19 patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy.RESULTS:
Thyroid nodules were present in five patients (26.3%), including one with a benign nodule and four with papillary thyroid cancer (21.1%).CONCLUSION:
Our experience suggests that, in order to make a correct diagnosis, clinicians should consider the possibility of thyroid cancer in uremic patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
