“Incidental” lipoadenoma of the parathyroid gland: A case report of a rare entity

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Parathyroid lipoadenoma is an uncommon type of parathyroid adenoma and a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The rarity of this entity, the difficult detection on imaging and the resemblance with normal parathyroid tissue microscopically makes its diagnosis difficult. We reported the case of an asymptomatic 48-year-old male treated for amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and incidental sporadic PHPT, that supplements and supports the rare literature data concerning the knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment of parathyroid lipoadenoma.
