1. Introduction
Parathyroid lipoadenomaļ¼one of the rare causes of primary
hyperparathyroidism, is an uncommon type of parathyroid adenoma,
described as a single parathyroid adenoma with more than 50% fat on
histologic examination and an unknown etiology. There are currently 64
cases of parathyroid lipoadenoma reported on PubMed. We present a case
that supplements and supports the rare literature data concerning the
clinical and therapeutic aspects of occasional parathyroid lipoadenoma
in thyroid cancer surgery in our treatment centre and review the
relevant literature.
