Abstract
We report a case of a 50-year-old man with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure who underwent extirpation of a mediastinal ectopic parathyroid gland by a transcervical approach under mediastinoscopy. This procedure provides an excellent approach to the mediastinal ectopic parathyroid gland, and is less invasive than median sternotomy or thoracotomy.Entities:
