Abstract:
Mediastinal parathyroid cyst is a very rare disease and is usually found incidentally. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is very rare when complete excision is done. A 71-year-old man was referred to our department because of 6x5cm sized right superior mediastinal mass found incidentally on chest X-ray. Surgical excision was performed and pathologic findings were confirmed as mediastinal parathyroid cyst. The patient has been followed up postoperatively without recurrence for 4 months up to now. We report a case of mediastinal parathyroid cyst.
