An Unusual Mass of Posterior Mediastinum: A Case of Retrotracheal Parathyroid Adenoma Presenting With Primary Hyperparathyroidism

An Unusual Mass of Posterior Mediastinum: A Case of Retrotracheal Parathyroid Adenoma Presenting With Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Although parathyroid ectopy in the mediastinum has been the subject of several publications, its location in the posterior mediastinum is very rarely reported. We report a case of a 69-year-old patient who presented with clinical symptoms of malignant hypercalcemia due to a retrotracheal mediastinal...
