Description
Summary:ObjectivesConcomitant thyroid disease affects almost half of the primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients. Pre-operative evaluation of the thyroid gland for the early diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma is essential in PHPT patients. Herein, we aim to investigate the clinicopathologic features that affect the type and extent of surgery in patients having PHPT and concomitant thyroid disease but especially thyroid cancer. MethodsThe files of consecutive patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for PHPT during a 6-year period were retrospectively reviewed. The cases who underwent parathyroidectomy and simultaneous thyroidectomy were enrolled in the study. A total of 84 patients who met the study criteria were divided into two groups as benign thyroid disease (Group 1) and malignant thyroid disease (Group 2) according to the final histopathological examination. The demographic and clinicopathological characteristics were compared between groups. ResultsConcomitant thyroid disease was found in 158 (55.6%) of 284 patients who were operated on for PHPT. Simultaneous total thyroidectomy or lobectomy was performed for 84 (29.6%) patients and thyroid carcinoma was detected in 29 (10.2%) patients. Total thyroidectomy and complication rates were higher in Group 2 (p
