Abstract
- Parathyroid cysts, which are classified as either functioning or nonfunctioning, are rarely observed as neck masses, especially in the mediastinum. Herein, we present a 38-year-old woman with a nonfunctioning parathyroid cyst in the mediastinum. Physical and radiologic examinations of parathyroid cysts are not specific and preoperative diagnosis is usually difficult. Therefore, clinicians should consider the possibility that parathyroid cysts occuring in the mediastinum mimick other more frequently observed lesions.
