| Popis: | Parathyroidectomy is considered the definitive cure for primary hyperparathyroidism due to a single parathyroid adenoma, which represents the most common cause of chronic hypercalcemia. However, in few cases, surgery may be technically difficult or risky. We report the use of percutaneous ultrasound-guided alcohol ablation of a parathyroid adenoma as an alternative to surgery in an 88-year-old male patient with significant medical comorbidities. |
