The carcinoma of parathyroid gland
Indian Journal of Cancer, 2004Parathyroid carcinoma constitutes less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism. The exact etiology is not known. Prior radiation to neck, chronic renal failure and genetic factors are thought to play a role. The male to female ratio is one. Parathyroid carcinomas are slow growing, have a tendency to recur locally and metastasize late. 95% of parathyroid

Localization of Parathyroid Glands
Annual Review of Medicine, 1988Parathyroid localization tests are helpful for all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before parathyroid exploration, and they are essential for patients who have had previous parathyroid or thyroid operations. The selection of specific localization tests depends on whether the patient is undergoing an initial or a reoperative procedure, as ...

Parathyroids: The Forgotten Glands
Neonatal Network, 2000Symptomatic calcium disorders—most notably, hypocalcemia— are common problems in preterm and certain term infants. Many factors predispose susceptible neonates to hypo- or hypercalcemia, but in many cases, the root of the problem is altered function of the parathyroid glands.

Preoperative imaging studies have an important role in facilitating successful localization of adenomas for surgeons. Their use has increased and parallels the recent growth of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Based on findings that scintigraphy is reported to have the highest accuracy for localization of adenomas when compared with anatomic ...

Imaging of the Parathyroid Glands
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2012Parathyroid imaging is performed in the setting of primary hyperparathyroidism with intent to localize adenomatous parathyroid tissue before minimally invasive surgery. Available imaging options currently consist of ultrasound, radionuclide scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and both conventional and "4 D" computed tomography.

The parathyroids differ from other endocrine glands in several respects. (1) The parathyroids appear late in phylogeny, being seen first in the amphibia. (2) While most endocrine glands make more than one hormone, only one hormone and one secretory cell type are regularly found in the parathyroids.

A history of the parathyroid glands
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1995Diseases of the parathyroid glands have always existed, affecting occasional individuals in every period and culture of the past. The significant changes in body build associated with their dysfunction must have attracted in the popular mind bewildering connotations that can be gleaned from their mythology.

Imaging, 2002
Diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism is based on biochemical findings.The combination of 99Tcm sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasound may provide the best diagnostic tool for localization of parathyroid tumours prior to initial exploration, or prior to re-operation for recurrent/persistent hyperparathyroidism.CT and MRI are particularly useful for ...

The “parathyroid blush” in the identification of parathyroid glands
The American Journal of Surgery, 1974Abstract When part of a parathyroid gland is excised for biopsy, the cut surface remaining becomes diffusely red from microscopic bleeding in one to three seconds, the “parathyroid blush.” By this simple observation the surgeon can distinguish grossly similar structures such as lobular fat from parathyroid tissue.
