          Abstract

          Autoinfarction of a parathyroid adenoma can have an atypical clinicoradiologic features that can mimic an inflammatory process or malignancy. In addition, the associated fibrosis makes surgical resection more challenging than for regular parathyroid adenomas. The implications of these findings are that while autoinfarction of parathyroid adenomas is a rare phenomenon, this entity should be considered when there are heterogeneous and cystic components on imaging in patients without hypercalcemia. Ultimately, histopathology is necessary for definitive diagnosis.

          Do giant parathyroid adenomas represent a distinct clinical entity?

          The size of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is highly variable, but the clinical significance of giant glands is unknown.

              Atypical parathyroid adenoma: clinical and anatomical pathologic features

              Background Primary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrine pathology that affects calcium metabolism. Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have high concentrations of serum calcium or high concentrations of parathyroid hormone, or incorrect parathyroid hormone levels for serum calcium values. Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to the presence of an adenoma/single-gland disease in 80–85%. Multiple gland disease or hyperplasia accounts for 10–15% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Atypical parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid carcinoma are both responsible for about 1.2–1.3% and 1% or less of primary hyperparathyroidism, respectively. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study and enrolled 117 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Histological and immunohistochemical examination showed that 107 patients (91.5%) were diagnosed with typical adenoma (group A), while 10 patients (8.5%) were diagnosed with atypical parathyroid adenoma (group B). None of the patients were affected by parathyroid carcinoma. Results Significant statistical differences were found in histological and immunohistochemical parameters as pseudocapsular invasion (p   1/10 high-power fields (HPFs) (p   4% (p <  0.001), galectin-3 + (p = 0.002), and protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 + (p = 0.038). Conclusions Atypical parathyroid adenoma is a tumor that has characteristics both of typical adenoma and parathyroid carcinoma. The diagnosis is reached by excluding with strict methods the presence of malignancy criteria. Atypical parathyroid adenoma compared to typical adenoma showed significant clinical, hematochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical differences. We did not find any disease relapse in the 10 patients with atypical parathyroid adenoma during 60 months of follow-up time.
