Description
Summary:	A patient hospitalized for the assessment of a "thyroid nodule" is presented. Scintigraphically the nodule was cold. Thin needle aspiration biopsy by which 50 ml of a clear fluid was drawn, proved the nodule to be of cystic nature. Phospho-calcium findings allowed the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism though the patient presented no subjective complaints. Histologic examination of the tissue removed intraoperatively revealed a cystic parathyroid neoplasm.
