Abstract
Over a 10-month period (June 1988 to March 1989), 17 patients were referred for primary hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) and one for tertiary HPTH. Fourteen others were seen for thyroid diseases: functioning (3) or nonfunctioning (10) nodules and one case of Graves’ disease. All of them were explored surgically. Histopathological findings and NMR relaxation times were compared in 32 specimens for parathyroid adenomas and in 24 for thyroid disease.
