Extensive cervicomediastinal hematoma due to spontaneous hemorrhage of a parathyroid adenoma: a case report

Abstract

Spontaneous extracapsular hemorrhage is a rare but potentially life-threatening manifestation of parathyroid gland adenomas. We present a case demonstrating that even in a patient with increased bleeding tendency due to anticoagulants, combined with compression of trachea and esophagus, conservative treatment can be successful.
