Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Parathyroid adenomas are responsible for 80% to 85% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Giant parathyroid adenomas are a rare type of parathyroid adenoma defined as weighing >3.5 grams. Although giant parathyroid adenomas are rare entities whose clinical presentation may not be atypical, their surgical management can be challenging, especially in the setti ng of anatomical variants. We present here a case of a 29-year-old female with a 37-gram giant adenoma which was diagnosed after presentation with recurrent severe headaches. The presentation was also unique in that it was associated with a right aberrant subclavian artery and nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve.
