Aspiration of enlarged parathyroid glands for parathyroid hormone assay

JL Doppman, AG Krudy, SJ Marx, A Saxe, P Schneider, JA Norton, AM Spiegel, RW Downs, M Schaaf, ME Brennan, AB Schneider and GD Aurbach

Enlarged parathyroid glands were percutaneously aspirated under computed tomographic (CT) control in 7 patients, and levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and human thyroglobulin (HTg) were measured. All 7 patients had high levels of PTH in at least 1 specimen. It is concluded that the measurement of high concentrations of PTH in the aspirate from a cervical or mediastinal mass, with CT documentation of needle position, provides absolute localization of parathyroid masses.
