Parathyroid hyperplasia
Diagnosis in short

Parathyroid hyperplasia. H&E stain.
LM hypercellular - usu. chief cell predominant, decreased adipose tissue, +/-"water-clear" cells (cells with abundant granular/foamy cytoplasm, mild nuclear pleomorphism)
LM DDx parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid carcinoma
Gross all parathyroid glands are enlarged
Site parathyroid gland
Associated Dx chronic renal failure
Syndromes MEN 1, MEN 2A
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work elevated PTH, +/-elevated calcium
Clin. DDx parathyroid adenoma
Treatment surgical removal of all parathyroid glands & re-implantation of half of one parathyroid in the forearm

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

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:
      • 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]
