Percutaneous Ethanol Injection Therapy of parathyroid adenoma under ultrasound guidance is individually used as an alternative
procedure in management of primary hyperparathyroidism in polymorbid elderly patients with increased surgical risk. We
present a case of a 92-year-old male patient, who underwent thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma three years ago. Part
of the regular annual follow-up visits was also ultrasonography, which showed a solitary parathyroid adenoma at the site of the
removed thyroid gland. Given the underlying condition, polymorbidity and age of the patient, the PEIT method was successfully
used in the therapy. The coincidence of adenoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma is also interesting.
