pubmed:abstractText
Eight of 23 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for radiation-associated nodular thyroid disease were found to have unsuspected parathyroid hyperplasia or adenoma at operation. The total serum calcium level was normal preoperatively in each patient. Serum ionized calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were measured in five patients preoperatively and were normal in each case. These pathologic findings in normocalcemic patients may represent a preclinical form of hyperparathyroidism, which would be further evidence linking radiation to the pathogenesis of hyperparathyroidism. The parathyroid glands should be evaluated both pre-operatively and at operation in all patients who have a history of radiation and require thyroidectomy.
