A 51-year-old male patient had ectopic hyperparathyroidism and concomitant left goiter. The left goiter extended to the anterior and posterior mediastinum. These endocrine and anatomic conditions induced hypertension, headache, dyspnea, hypercalcemia, and urinary tract stones. He also had bilateral huge hydroceles. Initially, the ectopic hyperparathyroidism was ignored because of unknown serum calcium. He then underwent complete resection of the extending goiter via a partial sternotomy. Bilateral hydrocelectomies were also concomitantly performed. The initially neglected ectopic hyperparathyroidism was treated using thoracoscopic parathyroidectomy ten months later. All symptoms were relieved and his serum calcium was restored to normal level following these surgeries and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. |
