Abstract

One of the leading morphological signs of parathyroid hyperplasia is the involvement of both glands (Fig. 266). Aberrant (ectopic) parathyroid glands, if present, may become visible to the naked eye due to their enlargement. Both glands are uniformly enlarged with no peripheral rim of normal or atrophic tissue, which in our view is one of the important criteria for diagnosis of adenoma (Fig. 267). Hyperplasia affects the body of the gland, sparing the tail.
