Subcapsular hemorrhage is a well-known complication of parathyroid adenoma. However, extracapsular parathyroid hemorrhage can occur as a rare phenomenon. Here, we report the case of a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism manifesting as a cervical-mediastinal and retropleural hematoma and present an overview of previously reported cases.
