Read morePrimary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a pathology characterized by excessive secretion of parathormone from one or more parathyroid glands leading to hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia, usually originating from adenoma (1). Although 90% is sporadic, 10% may be hereditary (2).
Fine needle biopsy is performed on suspicious nodules detected on ultrasound in the thyroid gland. Fine Needle Biopsy gives an idea whether the nodule is benign or malignant. According to the result of the Fine Needle Biopsy, the patient is decided to undergo surgery. The biopsy result is interpreted according to Bethesda classification.
