Surgical treatment of concomitant thyroid and parathyroid disorders: analysis of 4882 cases

The thyroid gland disease incidence in hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is higher than the incidence of thyroid disease in general population. Likewise, HPT is more frequent in patients primary admitted due to thyroid disease, than in general population. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence...

Zusammenfassung:The thyroid gland disease incidence in hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is higher than the incidence of thyroid disease in general population. Likewise, HPT is more frequent in patients primary admitted due to thyroid disease, than in general population. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical characteristics of concomitant HPT and thyroid disease, based on a single center experience. From 2009 to 2014, a total of 4882 patients underwent thyroidectomy and/or parathyroidectomy at the Center for Endocrine Surgery, Belgrade. We reviewed the database to find out indications for surgery, clinical characteristics, operative and histopathological findings. Out of 4033 patients, who underwent thyroidectomy, in 114 cases (2.8 %) parathyroidectomy was simultaneously performed. Out of these 114 patients, 42 patients (37 %) had normocalcemic HPT. Among 849 patients primary operated due to HPT, thyroid gland disease that required surgery was found in 224 (26.4 %). In patients primary seen for HPT, thyroid cancer was found in 22 (9.8 %), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 41 (18.3 %) and micropapillary carcinoma in 36 cases (16.1 %). Due to residual or recidivant HPT, 16 patients (15 who primary underwent parathyroidectomy and 1 primary seen for thyroid disease) needed a reoperation. There are a considerable number of patients with concomitant thyroid and parathyroid disease; this justifies the routine analyses of calcemia and PTH level in patients preparing for thyroidectomy, and sets up the ground for the thyroid investigations in HPT.
