Lesion size and cystic morphology are key determinants of parathyroid hormone washout in primary hyperparathyroidism.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Accurate preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas is of great importance to ensure targeted and effective surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). In this context, parathyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) performed under ultrasound guidance plays a crucial role. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between ultrasonographic features of parathyroid adenomas and parathyroid hormone washout (PTH-WO) values.

Methods

Between January 2022 and August 2024, data from 128 parathyroid adenomas in 122 patients who were prepared for surgery due to PHPT and underwent ultrasound-guided FNAB along with PTH-WO testing were retrospectively evaluated. The obtained PTH-WO results were compared with B-mode and Doppler ultrasound findings.
