Primary hyperparathyroidism is a frequent disease caused in 89% of cases by a parathyroid adenoma. In 10% of cases, the adenoma is in an ectopic situation due to an aberrant embryological migration of the gland. The evolution of surgical techniques has imposed the need to specify its location preoperatively.
