The authors report about a recurrence in a uremic patient who underwent a subtotal parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation in the sternocleidomastoid muscle for hyperparathyroidism. Reexploration revealed an enlarged parathyroid graft. This paper illustrates the potential complication of parathyroid autografts in patients with chronic renal failure.
