Abstract
Parathyromatosis is a rare disease that occurs in the neck and mediastinum as multiple lesions leading to hyperparathyroidism (1, 2). Parathyromatosis is usually divided into 2 types: primary parathyromatosis, which is proliferation of an embryonic remnant, and the more common secondary parathyromatosis, which is a post-surgical growth of retained parathyroid tissues or seeding of parathyroid tissue by capsular rupture of parathyroid adenoma during parathyroidectomy (1, 2). Early diagnosis and treatment of parathyromatosis is important because parathyromatosis also causes recurrent metabolic disorder after a parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism (1-3). We experienced a patient with parathyromatosis without hyperparathyroidism. In this study, we report a case of secondary parathyromatosis after endoscopic thyroidectomy for a presumed thyroid mass via an axillo-breast approach. CASE REPORT
