ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Case characteristics
The patients presented with asymptomatic hypercalcemia.
Clinical diagnosis
All the patients were diagnosed with parathyroid adenoma.
Differential diagnosis
Neck ultrasound and parathyroid scintigraphy were performed to identify the etiology of primary hyperparathyroidism.
Laboratory diagnosis
Calcium and parathormone levels were elevated and intraoperative decrease of parathormone was observed in all cases.
Imaging diagnosis
Single parathyroid adenoma was detected in all cases.
Pathological diagnosis
Diagnose of parathyroid adenoma was confirmed by postoperative histopathologic examination.
Treatment
Robotic transoral vestibular parathyroidectomy was performed.
