Abstract
An incidental finding of thyroid disease in patients undergoing surgery for hyperparathyroidism is fairly frequent but no more so than that found in autopsy series. No statistically significant differences were found between primary and renal hyperparathyroidism in the prevalence of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Currently, neck irradiation does not seem to be a clinically significant factor in this issue. The high prevalence of thyroid disease in the general population warrants systematic neck ultrasound before hyperparathyroidism surgery.
