Abstract

Proliferative pathologic lesions of parathyroid glands encompass a spectrum of entities ranging from benign hyperplastic processes to malignant neoplasia. This review article outlines the pathophysiologic classification of parathyroid disorders and describes histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features that can be assessed to render accurate diagnoses.
