Case report reveals adenoma in autotransplanted parathyroid tissue leading to hyperparathyroidism, highlighting the need for evaluation of past transplant sites.

Key Points

This research highlights a rare case of primary hyperparathyroidism resulting from a parathyroid adenoma in autotransplanted tissue.
Case presentation of a 60-year-old female with a history of total thyroidectomy and parathyroid autotransplantation.
Diagnostic imaging including ultrasonography, sestamibi scintigraphy, and 4D-CT.
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy performed based on imaging results.
Intraoperative PTH levels dropped from 318 pg/mL to 70 pg/mL after surgery.
