Spontaneous neck hematoma secondary to parathyroid adenoma: a case series

ConclusionA high suspicion index is needed, particularly in post-menopausal women, to reach a diagnosis and allow optimal management. Normal laboratory values do not exclude parathyroid etiology, yet assessment should include calcium and PTH levels along with targeted imaging. Since bleeding may recur, we suggest that PHPT complicated with neck hematoma should be an  independent indication for definitive parathyroidectomy surgery.Level of evidence3b
