Lymphocyte-depleted thymic remnants: a potential diagnostic pitfall in the evaluation of central neck dissections.

30 Oct 2009 The head and neck region is a frequent site for potentially confusing incidental benign findings not related to the primary pathologic process and having no impact on patient prognosis. Several lesions are thymic in origin. We report 3 cases of ... Read more...

Radioguided parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism in the reoperative neck.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine if radioguided parathyroidectomy (RGP) is effective for hyperparathyroidism (HPT) in the reoperative neck. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with HPT and a history of neck ... Read more...

Hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency predispose to bone loss in renal transplant recipients.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Bone disease is common postrenal transplantation resulting in increased fracture rates and morbidity. The cause is multifactorial including hyperparathyroidism, corticosteroids, and possibly calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. The aim of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hyperparathyroidism'

Definition: A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
