AbstractParathyroid cysts are rare. Most of them present in the anterior neck as cystic neck swellings. A case of cervical parathyroid cyst is presented, along with a brief review of the literature regarding the aetiology, clinical features, diagnosis and management of this condition.

Parathyroid cysts (PC) are an unusual cause of neck swellings. The majority are nonfunctioning and prove to be a diagnostic challenge given their nonspecific physical and radiological characteristics. This is compounded by their rare occurrence, leading them to be overlooked in the differential diagnosis of neck lumps. Imaging techniques fail to determine the origin of these lesions, but a preoperative diagnosis can be achieved by fine-needle aspiration and measurement of cystic fluid C-terminal parathyroid hormone levels. Treatment of nonfunctioning cysts remains controversial and includes needle aspiration, injection of sclerosant, or surgical excision. We present a case of a 44-year-old female presenting with an asymptomatic anterior neck swelling, diagnosed postoperatively as a parathyroid cyst.

CONTEXT: Parathyroid cysts are rare clinical and pathological entities, with less than 300 cases reported. The inferior parathyroid glands are most commonly involved, with left-side predominance. Parathyroid cysts may be functional or nonfunctional, depending on their association with hypercalcemia. CASE REPORT: A 25-year-old man presented a palpable asymptomatic left-side neck mass. Ultrasound revealed a cystic structure contiguous with the left thyroid lobe. Serum ionic calcium was normal. The patient underwent left thyroid lobectomy plus isthmectomy with excision of the cyst. The histological findings revealed a parathyroid cyst. Parathyroid cysts typically present as asymptomatic neck masses, and surgical excision appears to be the treatment of choice.

AbstractA report of a case with a vascular malformation of the internal auditory canal (IAC) is presented. A review of the literature of this rather rare lesion is also made in an attempt to outline its clinical features, radiological diagnosis and management. The differential diagnosis and distinction between vascular malformations and other internal auditory canal tumours are discussed.

Parathyroid Cysts

Parathyroid cysts are rare lesions of the cervical region and less frequently of the mediastinum. They occur mostly in women and are usually asymptomatic. They generally occur in the fourth and fifth decades of life and mainly are non-functioning. They commonly present as a neck mass that is found incidentally during surgery or in imaging test. Its importance lies in the difficulty in diagnosis, often confusing itself with thyroid pathology. The diagnosis is usually made intraoperatively, confirmed by histopathological examination.The aim of this paper is to report a case of parathyroid cyst that mimics a thyroid nodule.

AbstractObjectivesWe aim to report a case of a fetal goiter with postpartum spontaneous resolution. Fetal goiter can be secondary to maternal treatment and range from clinically asymptomatic or cause alterations in the fetus, from impaired swallowing to difficulty in vaginal delivery and even perinatal asphyxia due to the mass effect. The need for intrauterine treatment remains controversial.Case presentationWe present a case of fetal goiter with postpartum resolution. A 34-year-old multigravida presented to the emergency department with hiperemesis gravidarum at 10 weeks’ gestation. During evaluation for severe vomiting, Graves disease was diagnosed and treated with propylthiouracil. A routine ultrasound scan at 28 weeks gestation revealed a fetal anterior neck mass suggesting a fetal goiter. Cordocentesis showed fetal iatrogenic hypothyroidism. Conservative treatment was decided. Pregnancy concluded uneventful and the mass resolved spontaneously in the newborn.ConclusionsThe fetal thyroid gland is a structure that usually goes unnoticed during the process of prenatal diagnosis. In cases of maternal Graves diseases, fetal thyroid needs monitoring during pregnancy and conservative treatment is an option. Fetal goiter should be searched for secondary to thyroid alterations of the gravida, and in selected cases it can be managed without intrauterine treatment.
