Parathyroid adenoma is the main cause of primary hyperparathyroidism and often associated with thyroid nodular goiter.Thyrothymic thyroid rest belong to the ectopic thyroids which are classified into 4 grades according to the state of their connection with the proper neck thyroid gland.Thyrothymic thyroid remnant can also develop into nodular goiter and may be difficult to be distinguished from parathyroid adenoma.We present herewith the diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of parathyroid adenoma accompanied by thyrothymic thyroid remnant nodular goiter in order to remind clinicians of the attention to the thyrothymic thyroid remnant disease.
