[High resolution real time sonography of parathyroid tumors]. 1985

W B Schwerk, and R Grün, and R Wahl

A total of 15 patients with parathyroid tumours were scanned preoperatively using high-resolution real-time sonography (7 MHz). Of these, 14 had a single adenoma or primary hyperplasia, one had a carcinoma. In 13 out of 15 patients the echogenicity of the parathyroid tumours was consistently less than of the adjacent normal thyroid tissue; in 2 out of 15 cases parathyroid neoplasms were barely distinguishable in echogenicity from thyroid tissue. No specific echomorphologic differences were proved to exist between primary parathyroid hyperplasia, adenoma or carcinoma. The smallest parathyroid neoplasia in this study detected by sonography measured 5 x 8 mm in diameter. The value and limits of parathyroid sonography were discussed with regard to our own experience and the reports in the literature.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006965 Hyperplasia An increase in the number of cells in a tissue or organ without tumor formation. It differs from HYPERTROPHY, which is an increase in bulk without an increase in the number of cells. Hyperplasias
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009377 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia A group of autosomal dominant diseases characterized by the combined occurrence of tumors involving two or more ENDOCRINE GLANDS that secrete PEPTIDE HORMONES or AMINES. These neoplasias are often benign but can be malignant. They are classified by the endocrine glands involved and the degree of aggressiveness. The two major forms are MEN1 and MEN2 with gene mutations on CHROMOSOME 11 and CHROMOSOME 10, respectively.
