Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Identification and localization of pathological parathyroid gland before parathyroidectomy is traditionally done by a combination of two methods: ultrasound and sestamibi scan. The investigators would like to show that one exam that includes ultrasound and fine needle aspiration of the parathyroid gland for parathyroid hormone level is as accurate as the traditional method.

Arms (1)
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- investigation group
- description
- participants that suffer hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism. include all participants in the trial
- interventionNames
- Diagnostic Test: pre operative parathyroid hormone level measurement
- Diagnostic Test: pre operative parathyroid cytology
- Diagnostic Test: parathyroid hormone level measurement
- Diagnostic Test: parathyroid cytology
Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- parathyroid hormone level from a pathological parathyroid gland
- timeFrame
- one month after the patient starts the study
- description
- Under ultrasound guidance, the investigators will locate a neck leison which based on previous localization imaging modalities, is proven to be a pathological parathyroid gland.The investigators will aspirate material from this gland and send it for measurement of parathyroid hormone level. we will prove that a lesion that contains high levels of parathyroid hormone is indeed a parathyroid gland. thereby, this method may replace other localization methods
