Parathyroid hyperplasia is an abnormal proliferation of the parathyroid glands and a relatively common cause of hyperparathyroidism that is typically associated with chronic renal failure.[1]
General
- Common cause of hyperparathyroidism.
- Usually associated with chronic renal failure.
- May be syndromic - chief cell hyperplasia - associated with MEN 1, MEN 2A.[2] ‡
Treatment:
- Surgical removal of all parathyroid glands & re-implantation of half of one parathyroid in the forearm.
Note:
‡ MEN 1 and MEN 2A are often described as causing parathyroid hyperplasia; more correctly, it is thought these are actually multiple parathyroid adenomas.[3]
Gross
- Parathyroid gland enlargement - classically all parathyroid glands are involved; however, some may be spared making it difficult to differentiate this from parathyroid adenoma.[4]
Microscopic
Features:
- Hyperplastic/hypercellular appearance:
- Decreased adipose tissue.[5]
- Increased parenchymal cells.
- Chief cells - usually predominant.[5]
- "Water-clear" cells:
- Abundant foamy or granular cytoplasm.[6]
- Mild nuclear pleomorphism.
- May not be present or apparent.
- Other parenchymal cells include: oxyphil cells and transitional oxyphil cells.
Note:
- Generally, it is impossible to discern between parathyroid adenomas and parathyroid hyperplasias by histology alone.[7]
- One requires information of the size of the other glands to make the diagnosis.
- Water-clear cells may be seen in an adenoma.[6]
DDx:
- Parathyroid adenoma - classically have a rim of normal parathyroid gland around it.
- Parathyroid carcinoma - has invasive tissue destruction or far away metastases.
