| Parathyroid Adenoma (External View)
|
• External view of a parathyroid adenoma.
• Smooth surface is typical of a benign neoplasm.
• Cannot separate hyperplasia from adenoma on the basis
of gross findings in one gland.
• Parathyroid carcinoma would probably show adhesions
reflecting difficulty in dissecting it from adjacent
invaded structures.
