Abstract
Ultrasound guided FNA is a highly specific localization test for parathyroid tumors. This procedure can be successfully performed by surgeons in the office setting and is extremely valuable for directing parathyroid exploration in challenging cases. We recommend incorporating ultrasound and FNA as a pre-operative localization strategy for selected patients with HPT.
