It is common practice to weight parathyroid tissue: | |||
*Parathyroid adenoma are: 0.55 +/- 0.52 grams.<ref name=pmid15240594>{{Cite journal | last1 = Yao | first1 = K. | last2 = Singer | first2 = FR. | last3 = Roth | first3 = SI. | last4 = Sassoon | first4 = A. | last5 = Ye | first5 = C. | last6 = Giuliano | first6 = AE. | title = Weight of normal parathyroid glands in patients with parathyroid adenomas. | journal = J Clin Endocrinol Metab | volume = 89 | issue = 7 | pages = 3208-13 | month = Jul | year = 2004 | doi = 10.1210/jc.2003-031184 | PMID = 15240594 }}</ref> | |||
*Normal parathyroids taken out with parathyroid adenomas are: 0.06 +/-0.03 grams.<ref name=pmid15240594/> | |||
