Parathyroid hyperplasia associated with thymoma

D J Byrne et al. Postgrad Med J. 1989 May.

Abstract

The case of a 65 year old female with myasthenia gravis and hypercalcaemia is presented. Failure of medical control of the myasthenia necessitated thymectomy at which time parathyroid exploration was also carried out. This revealed parathyroid hyperplasia and a thymoma. This association has not been previously documented in the literature.
