Parathyroid Adenomas but normal levels
Posted , 3 users are following.
Ive been diagnosed with two parathyroid adenomas back in 2017 . My levels of calcium and PTH were normal so doc just said to watch it. I got another ultra sound in 2019 due to increased neck pressure and it showed the same two adenomas except the left one was now 4x the size it was originally. My levels were still normal so they said theyll just watch it. Also, the second ultrasound showed two large lymph nodes right next to the left adenoma. Its been a year and the pressure in my neck is causing coughing and trouble sleeping. Extra info: Im 24 y/o female, had hashimotos with uncontrollable levels since i was 6 y/o, and i've had kidney stones since i was 12. (currently have one in each kidney that im trying to pass). Any opinions? Im at a loss. Im getting another ultrasound in 4 days.

if you have kidney stone, i would think ca levels are high...this would also be consistent with the growth in parethyroid gland you mention. if this is the case, get it removed. if PTH is not high, and ca levels normal, then continuing monitor makes some sense
