Objective: This study compares the outcome of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in patients whose adenomas' weights were at the extremes of the distribution curve. As the size of parathyroid adenomas influences the success rate of localization studies for PHPT and negative localization can lead to higher risk of failed surgical treatment, it is possible that a difference in cure rate could be observed between subgroups of patients.
