Abstract

We should consider parathyroid extraglandular bleeding for patients with acute neck pain and swelling. Evaluation of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels is crucial for a suspected neck hematoma associated with parathyroid adenoma.

Keywords: acute neck pain; neck hematoma; parathyroid adenoma; parathyroid bleeding.
