Several times I have milled threads (both internal and external) with a lathe ID threading tool. Instead of a single row this would be called a single tooth thread mill. Put it in an end mill adapter and voila you have a thread mill. You can mill whatever pitch you can program and whatever diameter you can program. easy peasy!
