  • Title: Lipoadenoma of the parathyroid gland - a rare cause of hyperparathyroidism.
    Author: Bansal R, Trivedi P, Sarin J, Parikh B.
    Journal: Gulf J Oncolog; 2012 Jan; (11):63-5. PubMed ID: 22227548.
    Abstract:
    Lipoadenoma of parathyroid gland is an unusual morphologic variant of parathyroid adenoma in which the glandular elements are associated with abundant mature adipose tissue. The lesion has also been reported as parathyroid lipohyperplasia, parathyroid hamartoma, and parathyroid adenoma with myxoid stroma. Most cases are functioning and are associated with hyperparathyroidism. Lipoadenoma of parathyroid gland are difficult to diagnose as a cause of hyperparathyroidism because of rarity of these lesions and overlap with normal parathyroid tissue on microscopic evaluation. Only few cases have been documented in the literature so far. The lesion may be overlooked by both surgeon and pathologists alike, if they are not aware of this specific clinicopathologic entity.
