Adenomas paratiroideos de localización intratiroidea: derechos y bajos

IPA are present in 3% of patients submitted to parathyroidectomy. They predominate in the right thyroid lobe and can be IIIP, IVP and supernumerary. They often cause persistence. Thyroid resection affords the best results since complete enucleation can be difficult and leaving behind a fragment of the IPA results in local recurrence.
