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

Gross

  • Classically all parathyroid glands are involved; however, some may be spared making it difficult to differentiate this from parathyroid adenoma.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Classically have abundant adipose tissue.
  • +/-Water-clear cells ("water-clear cell hyperplasia").
