High resolution ultrasound guided needle aspirate of parathyroid lesion; a preliminary but accurate approach to preoperative identification and localization of parathyroid adenoma

ABSTRACT

Objective: to determine the sensitivity and specificity of high resolution ultrasound guided FNAC as a preliminary but accurate investigation for identification and localization of parathyroid adenoma for minimally invasive surgical road mapping to position the incision directly over the diseased gland
