We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a multinodular goitre who underwent total
thyroidectomy and was found intraoperatively to have a parathyroid ‘incidentaloma’. The surgical
approach to the management of patients with incidental parathyroid disease is discussed and
a review of the literature is presented.
Keywords
