Overview

Neck ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of parathyroid cancer. Findings on neck ultrasound suggestive of parathyroid cancer include structural irregularities of parathyroid gland and invasion of the surrounding tissues.

Ultrasound

• Assess the neck and surrounding lymph nodes
• Identify parathyroid tumors that have invaded nearby tissues
