Abstract
Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease after diabetes and osteoporosis. It is more common in women and its prevalence increases with age. PHPT is associated with parathyroid adenoma or cancer or paraneoplastic parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. PHPT can be asymptomatic or present with nephrolithiasis, peptic ulcers, pancreatitis, bone lesions and rarely – as a palpable formation in the cervical area. We present a 73-year-old female patient with cystic cervical lesion with high levels of PTH in the evacuated fluid contents. We discuss the differential diagnosis and the diagnostic algorhythm in cystic cervical lesions.
期刊介绍：
About 30 years ago - in 1973, on the initiative of the Publishing House „Medicine and Physical Culture", namely its former director Mr. Traian Ivanov, the Ministry of Health set up and accepted to subsidize a new medical magazine that was to be published only in the English language and had to reflect the status and the achievements of the Bulgarian medical science. Thus the language barrier was overcome and stable relations were established with the international medical society, large libraries, and university centers. The famous internationally known scientist professor Assen A. Hadjiolov was elected edition-in-chief by the first editorial staff and the magazine was named Acta Medica Bulgarica.
