Article information

Los quistes de paratiroides son una entidad clínica poco frecuente que deben considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de tumoración cervical. El diagnóstico se establece por punción aspiración con aguja fina (PAAF), que es un método diagnóstico y terapéutico.

Presentamos el caso de una niña con sospecha clínica inicial de nódulo tiroideo, pero en el que la PAAF permitió el diagnóstico de quiste paratiroideo.

Palabras clave:
Quiste
Glándula paratiroides
Punción-aspiración con aguja fina

Parathyroid cysts are rarely seen in clinical practice. They should always be included in the differential diagnosis of neck masses. Conclusive diagnosis should be established by fine-needle aspiration (FNA), a procedure that is useful for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

We report the case of girl who aroused clinical suspicion of thyroid node. However, the diagnosis of parathyroid cyst was subsequently confirmed by FNA.

Key words:
Cyst
Parathyroid gland
Fine-needle aspiration
