Abstract
Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas are a not an uncommon cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroidectomy has a success rate of above 95 % for cure of primary hyperparathyroidism. In about 6-16 % of cases, one or more hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s) are found in an ectopic location. The ectopic parathyroid glands were predominantly located in the thymus, retroesophageal region and intrathyroidal. Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas can be easily confused adenomatous nodules in the thyroid. Herein we presented two patients with rarely giant intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma which explored after total thyroidectomy.
