Dwarfs and Giants of Parathyroid Adenomas-No Difference in Outcome After Parathyroidectomy

摘要

Backgroud: This study compares the outcome of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in patients whose adenomas' weights were at the extremes of the distribution curve. As the size of parathyroid adenomas influences the success rate of localization studies for PHPT, it is possible that a difference in cure rate could be observed between subgroups of patients.
