Parathyroid Gland Histopathology M-2
P.E. Wakely, Jr., M.D.Department of Pathology
Wexner Medical Center
Parathyroid Gland - Objectives
Describe
• the embryology & histology of the parathyroid glands.
Define
• the etiology and clinical features of hyper- and hypo-parathyroidism.
Recognize
• the distinction between parathyroid hyperplasia and parathyroid adenoma.
Parathyroid Glands
Derived from pharyngeal pouches
Inferior glands from 3rd pouch
Superior glands from 4th pouch
Typically 4 glands – 2 on each side
Cell Types: • Chief cells: pale or clear
cytoplasm• Oxyphil cells:
eosinophilic cytoplasm• 30-40 mg. each
Two major diseases: • hyper- and hypo- PTH

Normal parathyroid
Primary HyperParathyroidism
serum PTH level
Mobilized Ca++ serum Ca++, serum P
Etiology: adenoma – 80%• hyperplasia – 15-20%• carcinoma – <1 %
Clinical Manifestations• F:M = 4:1; 50-75 yrs. • renal calculi / weakness/fatigue / osteoporosis / bone resorption
[osteitis fibrosa cystica]• mental status change, seizures

Parathyroid hyperplasia
Capt C. Martell
1926 the first parathyroidectomy performed in the USA.
Over several yrs. had 6 operations in neck for hyperparathyroidism
7th operation: found tumor in mediastinum.
Cured hyperPTH
Died 6 weeks later from hypocalcemic-induced hypoparathyroidism.
PTH Adenoma
Parathyroid adenoma
PTH Adenoma
PTH Adenoma, Oxyphilic Type
PTH Adenoma
PTH Adenoma, Clear Cell Type
h13
85-90%
5-15%
HypoParathyroidism
serum Ca++
Etiology• inadvertent surgical removal, congenital absence,
idiopathic atrophy
Clinical manifestations• tetany [neuromuscular irritability numbness
laryngospasm, seizures] • mental status changes, • cardiac conduction disturbances: prolongation QT
