[Nonfunctioning parathyroid cyst simulating thyroid nodule].

Abstract

A parathyroid cyst is a rare disease. A 48 year old man with a nonfunctioning parathyroid cyst is described. The cyst was initially misdiagnosed and taken for a thyroid cyst based on physical examination, thyroid scan, sonography and needle biopsy. Cervical exploration was performed due to the recurrence of the lesion. The cyst was resected and histology showed it to be a parathyroid cyst. Pre and post operative clinical aspects are discussed.

[Retrorectal cystic hamartoma].

The pathogenesis of retrorectal cystic hamartomas in the presacrococcygeal space, while known to be related to embryological remnants of the caudal region, is controversial. These lesions are rarely found in children; in the early stages of their development they may be symptomless. Diagnosis is usually made when the tumor is large enough to cause pain or intestinal obstruction, or when it becomes infected. A 2-month-old girl with a retrorectal cystic hamartoma initially treated as a perianal abscess is presented.
