Six cases of primary hyperparathyroidism due to hyperfunctioning intrathyroidal parathyroid glands are reported. In five cases, hyperparathyroidism was due to an intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma; in the sixth case, hyperparathyroidism resulted from an intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma. All five patients with adenoma were female with ages ranging from 40 to 70 yr. The patient with carcinoma was a 55-yr-old male. In all five patients with intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma, thyroidectomy was performed when an abnormal parathyroid gland could not be located in the neck during surgery for hyperparathyroidism. The patient with intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma presented with hypercalcemia and a palpable right thyroid mass. The differential diagnosis of intrathyroidal parathyroid adenoma includes thyroid follicular adenoma. In some cases, the possibility of medullary carcinoma of thyroid might also be considered. Immunocytochemical staining for parathormone (PTH), thyroglobulin, and calcitonin is valuable in establishing the correct diagnosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.

D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
