PG - 252-257 LID - 10.1089/thy.2017.0675 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Compared to those with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (SPHP), multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (MPHP) typically require more extensive dissection and have higher recurrence rates. Little is known about the risk of concomitant thyroid cancer in either setting. This study aimed to determine the rates and characteristics of thyroid cancer for MPHP versus SPHP patients undergoing parathyroidectomy. METHODS: Patients with MPHP (diagnosed by clinical and/or genetic criteria) or SPHP who had initial or reoperative parathyroid exploration from 1967 to 2014 were identified via a prospective database. The thyroid cancer-specific data for MPHP patients (n = 29) were compared to a selected 2:1 age- and sex-matched SPHP cohort (n = 58) who all had concurrent thyroidectomy for any reason. Clinically significant thyroid cancer was defined as >1 cm in diameter. RESULTS: In the MPHP group, 24/29 (83%) thyroidectomies were preoperatively unplanned versus 20/58 (34%) in the SPHP matched cohort (p < 0.01), and in this setting there was no difference in the rate of histologic thyroid cancer (3/24 [13%] vs. 5/20 [25%], p = 0.44). Histologic thyroid cancer was identified in 8/29 (28%) MPHP versus 27/58 (47%) SPHP patients (p = 0.11). Despite observed differences in the time period and extent of thyroidectomy, MPHP patients did not have an increased likelihood of thyroid cancer (surgery before 2005: odds ratio [OR] = 2.57, p = 0.09; total thyroidectomy: OR = 5.47, p < 0.01; MPHP: OR = 1.14, p = 0.83). All MPHP thyroid cancers were characterized as conventional papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), while thyroid cancers in SPHP patients included both PTC (66%) and follicular-variant PTC (34%). No MPHP patient had clinically significant thyroid cancer compared to an incidence of 15/58 (26%) in SPHP patients (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although patients with MEN1 have a substantial incidence of thyroid cancer (28%) and undergo more unplanned thyroidectomies during parathyroidectomy than do patients with SPHP, clinically significant thyroid cancer is proportionally uncommon.
