J Surg Case Rep. 2015 May 1;2015(5):rjv039. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjv039.

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.
