Parathyroid adenoma presenting with spontaneous cervical and anterior mediastinal hemorrhage: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2019 Februrary
RATIONALE: Spontaneous anterior cervical or mediastinal hemorrhage is a rare presentation of parathyroid adenoma.
PATIENT CONCERNS: A 69-year-old woman presented with neck hematoma and dysphagia and was found to have a soft tissue mass adjacent to her thyroid gland as seen on MRI and neck ultrasound.
DIAGNOSIS: Laboratory testing demonstrated elevated calcium and parathyroid hormone supporting diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma.
INTERVENTIONS: She underwent right inferior parathyroidectomy and en bloc right hemithyroidectomy due to significant fibrosis.
OUTCOMES: Pathology confirmed hypercellular parathyroid and normal thyroid tissue. Postoperatively, patient's calcium and parathyroid hormone levels had normalized.
LESSONS: In conclusion, imaging may not always be specific in identifying the source of neck hematoma and so laboratory studies should be done to rule out parathyroid adenoma as the underlying etiology.
