r = 0.861, intact PTH assay). Eight of 9 patients with multiple-gland involvement had an elevated serum PTH (〉2000 pg/ml in midportion and 〉200 pg/ml in intact PTH assays, respectively). No patient developed persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism. The serum PTH level was normalized by a resection of relatively enlarged glands in our cases. It is usual to explore all glands during surgery, and in cases with a high serum PTH level, multiple-gland involvement should also be considered.
