Popis: Common embryological origin of the inferior parathyroid glands and thy-mus can lead to rare concomitant lesions of these two glands. The authors reported a 59 year-female with confirmed chronic kidney disease-metabolic bone disorder (CKD-MBD) on hemodyalysis from 12 years whose extensive surgical exploration occasioned by total parathyrodectomy enabled discovery and complete removal of a retromanubrial nonmyasthenic thymoma. The clinical and pathological features of parathyroid nodular hyperplasia and noninvasive thymoma are discussed. The case presented here can be added to the few published observations describing an coinci-dental association between CKD-MBD (i.e renal hyperparathyroidism) and thymoma.
