Undescended Ectopic Parathyroid Adenoma Within Ectopic Cervical Thymus in the Carotid Sheath
We describe a novel location for an ectopic parathyroid adenoma within ectopic cervical thymic tissue outside of the thyroid bed and mediastinum. This highlights embryologic relationships that may aid in diagnostic and therapeutic management, particularly in revision or non-localizing cases.
