Abstract

Parathyroid adenomas, the most common cause of hyperparathyroidism, display diverse histologic patterns. The majority of adenomas form solid masses or show nodular, trabecular, and acinar patterns. In a four-year review of data on 103 surgically resected parathyroid adenomas, we encountered only a single case that showed papillae formation. We report this case to illustrate occurrence of this unusual histologic pattern that might create a diagnostic problem.
