Abstract
Background/aim: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by an excessive production of parathyroid hormone primarily resulting from the presence of an adenoma or hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands.
Materials and methods: A 45-year-old woman who had previously experienced high levels of calcium in her blood and abnormally elevated parathyroid hormone levels underwent surgical removal of the left parathyroid gland. Following surgery, she exhibited high levels of parathyroid hormone along with normalized calcium levels and persistent fatigue. Ultrasound imaging showed a hypoechoic mass on the left side, which was initially considered to be a recurrent parathyroid tumor.
Results: A comprehensive assessment, including neck CT scans and fine needle aspiration cytology, revealed that the mass was actually residual surgical cellulose, making diagnosis more challenging due to vitamin D deficiency.
Conclusion: Following parathyroid surgery, surgical cellulose may mimic a parathyroid adenoma.
期刊介绍：
Turkish Journal of Medical sciences is a peer-reviewed comprehensive resource that provides critical up-to-date information on the broad spectrum of general medical sciences. The Journal intended to publish original medical scientific papers regarding the priority based on the prominence, significance, and timeliness of the findings. However since the audience of the Journal is not limited to any subspeciality in a wide variety of medical disciplines, the papers focusing on the technical details of a given medical subspeciality may not be evaluated for publication.
