Abstract:

Primary hyperparathyroidism(pHPT) is a common endocrine disease. The traditional treatment modalities of it include operative treatment and drug therapy. Though the former is the preferred treatment, some patients refuse this modality because of possibly operational contraindications or other reasons. Drug treatment cannot eradicate the disease and has poor efficacy. Therefore, it is significant to explore the application of minimally invasive technique in the treatment of pHPT. Microwave ablation (MWA) has been used in the treatment of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, secondary HPT and other tumors, and has had certain efficacy. This paper reports a pHPT case treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA, systematically records the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up process. And the key points of follow-up observation are analyzed with literature review.
