Abstract

Objective(s): Primary hyperparathyroidism (PH) is
characterized by a high level of blood PTH and calcium. Case: A
23-year-old male patient with no previous history of any chronic disease was
referred to the urology polyclinic of the hospital due to renal colic. On the
direct urinary system chart and in the urinary system ultrasonography,
left ureter calculi and grade-2 hydronephrosis were detected in the left
kidney. The patient's serum calcium and ionized parathyroid tests were
determined to be high and he was consulted to an internist with a prediagnosis
of primary hyperparathyroidism. Thyroid / Parathyroid Ultrasonography showed a
12 * 13 * 23-millimeter size, well-defined hypoechoic, slightly
heterogeneous solid lesion in the left parathyroid root. Parathyroid
scintigraphy sestamibi technetium-99 detected a parathyroid
adenoma/hyperplasia in the posterior vicinity of the middle part of the left
lobe of the thyroid. Discussion: In a young patient, a neck
mass usually originates from a congenital disease or due to acute infection.
Parathyroid tumors are rare causes of neck masses at young
ages.  However, physicians should pay attention to additional
findings associated with conditions that may be more serious than the
presenting symptoms. In this case, it was a parathyroid tumor diagnosed by
careful physical examination of a patient with renal colic.


Hastalığı
olmayan 23 yaşındaki erkek hasta renal kolik nedeniyle hastanenin üroloji
polikliniğine başvurdu. Hastada serum kalsiyum ve iyonize parathormon sonuçları
yüksekti ve hasta bu sonuçlarla primer hiperparatiroidizm ön tanısı ile iç
hastalıkları uzmanına konsülte edildi. Hastanın Tiroid / Paratiroid
Ultrasonografi incelemesinde: sol paratiroid kökünde 12 * 13 * 23 milimetre
boyutlarında, iyi tanımlanmış, hipoekoik, hafif heterojen solid lezyona
rastlandı. Paratiroid sintigrafi sestamibi teknisyum-99 incelemesinde tiroidin
sol lobu orta kısım arka komşuluğunda bir paratiroid adenomu/hiperplazisi
tespit edildi. Tartışma: Aile
hekimleri günlük pratiklerine boyun kitleleri ile sıklıkla karşılaşırlar. Genç
erişkinlerde boyun kitlelerinin en sık nedenleri konjenital hastalıklar veya
enfeksiyonlardır. Paratiroid patolojileri boyun kitleleri genç yaşta nadirdir.
Sonuç: Genç bir hastada, boyun kitlesi bir konjenital hastalık veya akut bir
enfeksiyona bağlıdır. Bununla beraber, hekimler hastanın mevcut semptomlarından
çok daha ciddi durumların işareti olan bulgulara dikkat etmelidir. Bu vakada
renal kolik şikayeti ile başvuran bir hastada dikkatli bir muayene ile ortaya
konulan bir paratiroid adenomu sunulmuştur.
