Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Recurrent hyperparathyroidism may occur following parathyroid autotransplantation due to autogenous function of the muscle-engrafted tissue. Parathyroid lesions are uncommonly diagnosed on cytology. CASE: A 31-year-old female with chronic renal failure presented with an elevated parathyroid hormone level and a neck mass in the left sternocleidomastoid muscle, the site of a previous parathyroid autograft. Fine needle aspiration of the mass revealed high cellularity, with perivascularly arranged, three-dimensional, branching clusters; individual cells; and naked nuclei exhibiting anisonucleosis. A diagnosis of parathyroid graft hyperplasia was made by fine needle aspiration and subsequently by histopathologic examination. CONCLUSION: Fine needle aspiration is an effective tool for confirming the presence of parathyroid autograft hyperplasia, thus allowing the correct surgical approach. |
