Abstract
An unusual case of parathyroid adenoma is presented. This adenoma pres ented as a rapidly expanding neck mass in a normocalcemic patient. It was located far laterally in the neck, in association with the interna l jugular vein and with a branchial cleft cyst. This case provides an unusual presentation of parathyroid adenoma. It also provides an elega nt demonstration of developmental anatomy as well as the mechanism of parathyroid ectopia in the lateral aspect of the neck.
