As the presence of RET gene defect leads to near
100% certainty of MTC, the only question is the
timing prophylactic surgery balancing the risk of
surgery on patients with the risk of developing
malignancies. Both prospective and retrospective
data comparing the use of positive DNA testing for
RET versus serum biochemical evaluation with
calcitonin levels have shown that DNA testing
leads to predictable and more accurate risk assessment for patients [9]. Studies have shown that
patients undergoing thyroidectomy for increased
calcitonin levels were older than those undergoing surgery for positive DNA testing [18, 21].
Similarly, the risk of medullary thyroid cancer is
much higher in those who already have elevated
levels of calcitonin in their blood [18, 21]. The
timing of surgery therefore should predate the rise
in serum calcitonin and presence of thyroid nodules based on ultrasonographic evaluations.
Following diagnosis of MTC based on ne needle aspiration in an index patient or from a patient
following conrmation of genetic heritage, patients
will need either screening or surgical intervention. In patients with MEN II syndromes, associated endocrinopathies such as pheochromocytoma
and hyperparathyroidism need to be excluded or
evaluated to minimize the risk of concurrent disease. Those patients undergo screening with either
plasma-free metanephrines or 24-h urine collection
for metanephrines to rule out pheochromocytoma
which can increase the risk of thyroidectomy if
not previously discovered. Presence of hyperparathyroidism also needs to be conrmed because of
the need to alter surgical plan to possibly include
parathyroidectomy concurrently. Patients with
delayed surgical intervention should have serum
calcitonin and CEA levels checked along with
periodic thyroid ultrasonography to evaluate for
presence of thyroid nodules. In patients with RET
proto- oncogene defect, the screening for pheochromocytoma should commence by 11years of age in
highest risk individuals (MEN2B).
Once the RET gene defect has been identied,
clear-cut ATA guidelines exist regarding the timing of surgery since risk of MTC development
increases incrementally (Fig. 5.2). For patients
with FMTC and MEN2A, RET codon defects
such as 609, 630, 768, 790, 791, 804, 891 should
undergo screening evaluation and possible prophylactic thyroidectomy before the age of 10.
Children with codon defects including 609, 611,
618, 620, 630 need to consider surgery by 5years
of age. Those with codon 634 defect is the most
common type of MEN2A and also at particularly
increased risk of malignancy. Therefore, patients
with codon 634 defect need to undergo surgery by
5years of old. Finally, patients with MEN2B are
at the highest risk for MTC.Surgery should not
be postponed much beyond 1year of age in these
high-risk individuals, even with the elevated risk
of surgical morbidity [9, 22–24].
5.3 Cowden Syndrome/PTEN

Syndrome
Cowden syndrome, named after the patient of the
same last name, was rst described in 1962 [25].

ndings of multinodular goiter, papillomas of
the oral mucosa, cystic breast diseases, and CNS
abnormalities. Patients of this syndrome seem to
have a familial pattern of inheritance. Subsequent
investigations into this cluster of syndromes led
to the identication of other ndings commonly
seen with Cowden syndrome [26–29]. Patients
often have concurrent trichilemmomas, acral
keratoses, and bromas. The phenotypic abnormalities did not end with its early description.
Other unusual ndings in some patients with
Cowden syndrome included Lhermitte–Duclos
disease with its phenotypic dysplastic cerebellar
gangliocytoma and gastrointestinal hamartomas.
During the 1990s, genetic linkage studies were
able to identify a tumor suppressor gene, phosphatase and tensin homolog gene (PTEN), as
possible cause for up to 80% of patients developing the constellation of ndings [26, 30]. With
this nding, another group of patients were also
found to have PTEN mutations but other phenotypic appearances. Patient with Bannayan–
Riley–Ruvalcaba syndrome was found to have
PTEN gene defect in up to 60% of patients.
These patients have early-onset macrocephaly,
gastrointestinal hamartomas, vascular malformations, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and penile freckling [27–29, 31]. Patients with either somatic or
hereditary PTEN mutations are associated with
breast, thyroid, renal, endometrial, colorectal,
and melanoma-type malignancies.
Subsequently, with increasing recognition,
patients with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndromes
are diagnosed based on clinical criteria developed
by the International Cowden Consortium [4, 5].

Patients with Cowden syndrome with underlying
germline PTEN mutations are at increased risk
of breast, thyroid, endometrial, and renal cancers.
The majority of patients with Cowden syndrome
are diagnosed in a de novo fashion. Following
discovery of their rst malignancy, the development of secondary malignancy is reportedly as
high as 40%, in comparison to about 18% in the
general population [32].
Initial presentation of a new patient with
PTEN hamartoma syndrome can be quite difcult
to recognize due to diverse clinical presentations.
However, since secondary cancer risk is elevated
compared with normal population, it is important
to identify this group of patients following initial workup because of their risk for developing
another malignancy. Several features of patients
with PTEN hamartoma syndrome that are rare in
the general population include the following: (1)
Lhermitte–Duclos disease (dysplastic cerebellar
gangliocytoma), (2) extreme macrocephaly, (3)
oral mucosal papillomatosis, (4) penile freckling, (5) hamartomas and ganglioneuromas of
the gastrointestinal tract, (6) glycogenic acanthosis, (7) differentiated thyroid cancer in pediatric
patients, and (8) early-onset endometrial cancer
[25, 31–33].
Because of the increased recognition of this
underreported disease, there is now the Cleveland
Clinic PTEN risk calculation tool which can help
determine a percentage risk for PTEN mutation
analysis. Patients with high-risk scores will need
genetic counseling and testing. Identication
of patients with PTEN gene defect should alert
the clinician to increased scrutiny and testing

of patients [32, 34]. Additionally, prior cancer
in these patients increases the risk of secondary cancers in patients with PTEN hamartoma
syndrome. Therefore, these patients may benet
from prophylactic surgeries or therapeutic interventions [32].
The lifetime risk of patients with germline
PTEN mutation for development of malignancies
is high. Collectively, based on several studies,
the risk of female breast cancer ranges from 67
to 85% [33]. Risk of DTCs is lower but ranges
from 25 to 38%. Similar to breast cancer, the risk
is higher in women for thyroid cancer than men
[33]. Patients also have signicant risk of developing endometrial and renal cell carcinomas.
Since the risk of developing thyroid cancer is not
100%, patients with PTEN mutations following
genetic diagnosis benets from screening thyroid ultrasounds to look for cancer development.
Surveillance of patients with PTEN mutations
frequently leads to discovery of combination of
multiple nodules, goiter, and/or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Patients can also develop thyroid cancer
in PTEN mutation positive cohorts at an early
age. Therefore, ultrasound evaluation of thyroids
should start as soon as the condition of Cowden
syndrome or PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome
is diagnosed in a patient.
Although PTEN mutation was initially thought
to be the culprit for the multitude of different variable phenotypic expression, it is now clear that
Cowden syndrome is genetically also heterogenous making nal recommendations regarding
prophylactic surgery especially difcult. Up to
25% of patient meeting Cowden syndrome diagnostic criteria have been found to have negative
PTEN mutations. Some patients with Cowdenlike syndrome have some features of Cowden syndrome but do not always meet diagnostic criteria
or have the germline mutations. These patients can
harbor other germline mutations such as succinate
dehydrogenase variants (SDHB/C/D), PIK3CA,
AKT1, and hypermethylation of KILLIN gene
[30]. Hypermethylation of KILLIN, which is a
tumor suppressor that affects PTEN, can result in
the under expression of PTEN [30].
Treatment of patients with PTEN hamartoma
tumor syndrome associated thyroid cancer is
frequently a total thyroidectomy. These patients
tend to have concomitant thyroid nodules, goiter, and/or thyroiditis in addition to thyroid cancer. In addition, with increased risk of another
thyroid cancer in the future, total thyroidectomy
seems to be the rational choice for these patients.
In terms of prophylactic thyroidectomy, this is
an area that is hotly debated, especially after
diagnosis of a previous cancer or discovery of
benign thyroid nodules or goiters. Prophylactic
thyroidectomy needs to be carefully weighed
against risks for surgery in patients to minimize
morbidity and follow-up mandates. There is a
role of prophylactic thyroidectomy in a subset
of patients with Cowden syndrome. Since some
patients are unable to adequately follow-up for
serial ultrasonic examinations of their neck,
prophylactic thyroidectomy has been proposed
as an option for patients with cognitive decits
who make thyroid ultrasound follow-up difcult
to accomplish [32].
5.4 Hereditary Syndrome atRisk
forThyroid Pathology
Familial forms of follicular cell-derived neoplasms constitute approximately 5–15% of nonmedullary thyroid cancers [35]. In addition to the
genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous
Cowden/Cowden-like syndrome, several other
familial syndromes can lead to a high rate of
thyroid diseases and thyroid neoplasia. Notably,
non-medullary thyroid cancers have been found
with greater frequency in patients with familial
adenomatous polyposis (FAP), Carney’s syndrome, DICER1-related syndrome and Werner’s
syndrome among others. In patients with these
syndromes, their thyroid carcinomas tend to be
part of heterogeneous diseases, and often has
early-onset, multicentricity and bilateral tendencies [35].
Several of the known hereditary cancer syndrome that causes thyroid cancer are autosomal
dominant. Both MTC and Cowden syndrome
are autosomal dominant hereditary cancer syndrome which leads to an increased risk of thyroid
cancer [36–38]. Cowden syndrome is a disease

46
X. Da Dong and R. Lati
is both genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous which makes it difcult to determine
the exact risk for thyroid cancer. Unfortunately,
multiple other genetic conditions that predispose at-risk individuals to thyroid cancer are also
heterogeneous in presentation, therefore careful
workup of patients with thyroid pathology is a
necessity (Table5.3).
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is
known to lead to increased risk of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The defect caused
by the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene
carries a risk of up to 12% for development of
DTC.In FAP, this autosomal dominant syndrome
is caused by germline mutation in the APC gene
on chromosome 5q21. Pathognomonic ndings
are the presence of hundreds of adenomatous
colonic polyps that develop early on necessitating total colectomy by the age of 40. Papillary
thyroid cancer has a female preponderance and
is one of the many extracolonic manifestations of
FAP, occurring in 2% of patients. Young women
are at particularly higher risk for development of
thyroid cancer and their risk is estimated to be
160 times that of normal individuals [35]. These
patients frequently have bilateral, multifocal disease and histologically display a rare cribriform
pattern. The cells are usually well differentiated
and have a spindle pattern, often associated with
marked brosis. The cribriform-morular variant
of PTC, which in contrast to conventional PTC,
rarely metastasizes and carries a benign prognosis. Because of the rare occurrence of this type of
tumor, its identication raises the possibility of
undiagnosed FAP. Patients diagnosed with conventional FAP should also be alerted to the possibility of concurrent thyroid pathology. Intensive
screening for thyroid nodules is recommended
after the age of 15 years. Prophylactic surgical
intervention should also be considered following
identication of thyroid nodules. In this patient
cohort, it is advisable to perform total thyroidectomy as management of newly discovered thyroid nodules due to the possibility of bilaterally
and the high incidence of subsequent thyroid
pathology.
Carney’s complex is an autosomal dominant
disease characterized by skin and mucosal pig-
mentation [39]. Carney’s complex is a condition where there is a gene defect in PRKAR1A
gene, leading to the development of blue nevi.
Patient with this condition has a relatively lower
incidence of DTC, compared to other hereditary cancers, although higher than the general
population. These patients often have a variety of
endocrine neoplasias as well, including pituitary
adenomas, pigmented nodular adrenal disease,
and Sertoli and Leydig cell tumors [39]. Patients
with Carney’s complex usually present with
multinodular goiter with adenomatous nodules.
Approximately 5–15% of patients with Carney’s
complex will eventually develop either papillary
thyroid cancer (PTC) or follicular thyroid cancer
(FTC). Nonetheless, although thyroid cancer risk
is increased in these types of patients, the majority are actually aficted with thyroid goiters leading to the occasional need for thyroid surgeries.
Patients with DICER1 defect are recently
undergoing closer scrutiny in terms of their risks
for malignancies. These patients most commonly
develop pleuropulmonary blastomas which are
characterized by tumors that grow in lung tissue
or the pleura [6]. Other malignancies seen with
DICER1 syndrome include cystic nephromas,
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors of the ovaries, and
thyroid cancer. The patients with DICER1 syndrome are known to be at risk of multinodular
goiter with occasional development of DTCs.
However, recent investigations into DICER1
mutations have uncovered a group of early-onset
poorly differentiated thyroid cancers in adolescents and young adults that are pathologically
aggressive. This may lead to changes in terms of
management options in patients with DICER1
syndrome [6].
Patients with Werner’s syndrome develop a
curious phenotype of premature aging. Patients
with this syndrome are also at increased risk of
a variety of neoplasia including benign thyroid
nodules and DTCs. Patients with Werner’s syndrome have close to 18% risk of developing
thyroid cancers with the majority being PTCs
[3, 19]. A smaller percentage does develop FTC
or the aggressive anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Although incidence of DTCs is elevated with
Werner’s syndrome, the risk is still low that only

enhanced surveillance is recommended without
the need for prophylactic thyroidectomy.
Management decisions in patients with thyroid nodules or goiter are inuenced by their
predisposing hereditary conditions. Even with
small tumors (<1 cm), risk of multifocal disease and subsequent neoplasia would favor more
aggressive surgical intervention. Therefore, total
thyroidectomy often needs to be considered for
treatment for small tumors that are incidentally
discovered [3, 19].
Patients with Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, the familial paraganglioma syndromes,
Li-Fraumeni syndromes, McCune-Albright
syndrome, and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are all
examples of hereditary syndromes with increased
incidence of thyroid cancer [19, 35, 40]. However,
the tumors that develop in these patients may not
be a direct result of gene defect leading to thyroid
neoplasia but rather a global phenomenon due
to impaired DNA repair leading to higher incidences of neoplasms. As such, these patients are
not routinely considered for prophylactic thyroid
surgery or even enhanced mode of surveillance
for their thyroid pathologies [40].
5.5 Risk ofProphylactic
Thyroidectomy
Surgeon attitude towards prophylactic thyroidectomy has changed signicantly with regard to
management of hereditary MTC. With genetic
sequencing and the risk of malignancy carried by
each mutation, timing of surgery can predate the
onset of neoplasia. However, surgery on earlyonset MTC can also lead to signicant morbidities including permanent hypoparathyroidism
and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Using the
National Inpatient Sample hospital discharge
data, patients younger than 17 years old undergoing thyroidectomy/parathyroidectomy showed
signicantly higher risks compared to their adult
counterparts [41, 42]. Complication rates for
patients separated into age groups (0–6 years,
7–12years, and 13–17years) showed an inverse
relationship of complications with age groups.
Children that are in the 0–6 age group had complication rates as high as 22% compared to 11%
for age group of 13–17 [41, 42]. Based on retrospective single-center data, surgical risks are
signicant in very young patients who are at risk
for hereditary MTC [22, 42]. Risk of transient
hypocalcemia is as high as 27% and permanent
hypocalcemia can be as high as 20% in patients
younger than 5years old [22, 42]. Therefore, risk
of surgery needs to be explained and carefully
balanced with the risk of development of MTC.
5.6 Conclusions
Surgeon attitude and patient understanding
towards management of organ-specic disease
entities have changed dramatically over the years.
With decreases in surgical morbidity and a clearer
understanding that certain genetic conditions predispose patients to malignancies or long signicant
morbidities, primary organ resection with replacement hormone therapy became an appealing longterm solution over short-term interval surveillance.
Due to the availability of genetic screenings for
potentially fatal MTC, prophylactic thyroidectomy
is one of the few procedures where patients can
expect near certainty on the effectiveness of their
surgery in reducing risk of cancer. Increasingly,
other heritable conditions that lead to increased risk
of thyroid malignancy are also being elucidated on
their malignancy potential. The role of prophylactic thyroidectomy in these conditions may expand
as the accuracy in predicting subsequent malignancy improves, and the risk of surgery becomes
less than that of malignancy. Furthermore, the
surgical approach in small incidentally discovered
tumors would entail total thyroidectomy to prevent
subsequent malignancies [3].

6.1 Introduction
Four parathyroid glands are present in most individuals, but supernumerary, or a fth parathyroid has been reported in 6–13% of cases and
may arise from division of one or more of the
four parathyroid glands during development [1].
The parathyroid glands are located in the anterior neck, posterior to or within the thyroid gland,
although may be found from the angle of jaw to
the arch of aorta, and weigh 35–40mg each. They
have an important role in the biochemical milieu
of the body and dysfunction of hyperparathyroids
(hyper or hypoparathyroidism) is associated with
serious metabolic consequences that may lead
to major morbidity and mortality. Both superior
and inferior parathyroid glands, with their blood

supply from the inferior thyroid artery, are quite
vulnerable to injury during thyroidectomy.
The principal function of the parathyroid
glands is regulation of calcium metabolism and
homeostasis by direct effects on the kidney,
bone, and gastrointestinal tract through PTH
actions. While detailed description of the biology
and metabolic activities of parathyroid hormone
and its relationship with calcium and phosphorus hemostasis is beyond the scope of this chapter, it is important to mention that no study or
treatment of parathyroid gland dysfunction can
be effective without thorough understanding of
anatomy, biology, recent advances in early diagnosis, localization of the pathology, intraoperative localization, and postoperative management
of these complex patients. Most recent surgical
textbooks provide comprehensive reviews of the
subject.
Parathyroidism is the third most common
endocrine disorder, after diabetes and thyroid
disease. It can be primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is caused
mainly by three major conditions: parathyroid
adenoma (80–90%), parathyroid hyperplasia hormone (PTH) (10–15%), and multiple endocrine
neoplasia (MEN1 and MEN2). Finally, on very
rare occasions (<1%), parathyroid carcinoma is
a cause of primary HPT.Two disorders that must
be distinguished from PHPT are familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) and hypercalcemia of malignancy. Both can be diagnosed with
simple but careful analysis of biochemical tests.

The rst condition is associated with an abnormal biochemical prole.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is caused
by multiple contributing factors including possible genetic mutation, altered vitamin D metabolism and resistance, impaired calcium response
to PTH, retention of phosphorus, and altered
metabolism of PTH [2]. The parathyroid glands
are intrinsically normal in secondary hyperparathyroidism; however, progressive derangements
due to abnormal calcium homeostasis ensue.
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism, on the other
hand, is rare and occurs in only two conditions:
in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism
when parathyroid glands become autonomous
and hypercalcemia ensues; the second setting is in
transplant patients that do not become eucalcemic
because parathyroid glands become autonomous.
This occurs in 8.5–53% of transplant recipients,
1% of who will require parathyroidectomy.
Historically, at least two patients have entered
the annals of parathyroid surgery as most spectacular failures of parathyroidectomy. Charles
Martell, the rst parathyroid patient operated on
at the Massachusetts General Hospital for severe
primary hyperparathyroidism, underwent neck
exploration seven times before his parathyroid
was found in the mediastinum [3]. Albert Jahne,
operated on by Felix Mandl, died of osteitis
brosa cystica, from four-gland hyperplasia that
was not cured with parathyroidectomy [4]. Both
Albert Jahne and Charles Martell had persistent
or recurrent disease and died of the devastations
of uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism. Both cases
provided enormous contributions to elucidating
the function of the parathyroid glands.
6.2 Conditions toConsider
forProphylactic
Parathyroidectomy
Parathyroidectomy is a relatively rare operation. For example, high-volume surgeons are
considered those surgeons with >50 cases per
year, and in most countries these operations are
performed by endocrine surgeons. Surgeons
performing 1–15 cases per year are considered
lower volume surgeons. Experienced higher
volume surgeons have lower rates of persistent
or recurrent PHPT [5–7].
Despite signicant diagnostic and surgical
advances in parathyroidectomy, the optimal timing for surgical treatment in patients with asymptomatic primary HPT is not well established,
and controversy exists between high-volume
and low-volume surgeons. Obviously, those with
high-volume believe that patients should be operated early, prior to disease manifestation associated with primary HPT, while those with lower
volume do not. Although physicians may be cautious recommending surgery for asymptomatic
patients, NIH has developed criteria for surgery
for asymptomatic patients [8]. Surgery thus rests
on the premise of future health benets as well
as cure rates that are highest when performed by
high-volume surgeons.
6.3 Osteitis Fibrosa Cystica (OFC)
Osteitis brosa cystica is a skeletal disorder characterized by loss of bone mass that occurs secondary to PHPT.Elevated levels of PTH cause
increased osteoclast activity and consequent bone
resorption. This leads to softening of the bones
and fractures. Lytic lesions may also develop
due to the many multinucleated osteoclast cells.
Overt skeletal involvement is extremely rare in
most developed countries with prophylactic
removal of the parathyroid glands.
OFC can be reversible with removal of the
parathyroid gland(s) that contain the adenoma
with the goal of preventing advanced skeletal
changes. One study of 51 patients with PHPT
and skeletal disease or OFC proved a near disappearance of bone pain and regaining of muscular
strength in 36 (70.6%) patients by just 1 week
following parathyroidectomy [9]. Additionally,
all patients with fractures (n= 33) experienced
complete healing of the fractures by a median
time of 3months postoperatively after parathyroidectomy. Symptomatic hypocalcemia was evident in 46 (90.2%) patients soon after surgery;
however, studies have demonstrated low rates of
permanent hypocalcemia [9, 10].
