Abstract

Ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the mediastinum has been reported in several publications; however, its location in the posterior mediastinum, especially a retro-tracheal location, has been rarely reported. We report a case of a 61-year-old patient who presented with clinical symptoms of malignant hypercalcemia due to a retro-tracheal mediastinal parathyroid adenoma. The surgical excision normalized the phosphocalcic balance with improvement in the patient's clinical symptoms. An ectopic hypersecreting parathyroid adenoma with life-threatening hypercalcemia should prompt radiological assessment and appropriate surgical management to prevent significant clinical complications.
