    Abstract

    Despite accurate preoperative imaging, ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenomas can be difficult to find via a thoracic approach. Considering that - in most cases - these adenomas are intrathymic, it can be advisable to directly perform a partial thymectomy. We present the cases of three patients who were successfully cured using a thoracoscopic partial thymectomy.
