Fig. 1From: The dangers of parathyroid biopsyComputed Tomography scan of the neck with IV contrast showing the primary parathyroid lesion and the separate supra-aortic parathyroid lesion, likely secondary to seeding from FNA. a, b, c - Coronal view; d, e - Axial view. The normal thyroid gland is identified (a). The primary parathyroid lesion, measuring 59.7Â mm, is located posterior to the thyroid gland (b). The separate supra-aortic lesion likely secondary to seeding measures to be 14.6Â mm (c). The primary parathyroid lesion measures 18.6Â mm x 28.6Â mm (d). The separate supra-aortic lesion localized in the pre-tracheal area measures 12.6Â mm x 15.8Â mm (e)Back to article page
