Parathyroid gland adenoma
MONDO:0006890A benign tumor arising from the parenchymal cells of the parathyroid glands. In the vast majority of cases, the tumor involves a single parathyroid gland. It is associated with the symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism, resulting from the excessive production of parathyroid hormone. It is usually surrounded by a well-defined capsule. Capsular invasion, vascular invasion, and perineural invasion are absent.
Also known as: adenoma of parathyroid, adenoma of parathyroid gland, adenoma of the parathyroid, parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid gland adenoma

New scan could spot parathyroid tumors that old tests miss
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a newer PET scan using 18F fluorocholine can find parathyroid adenomas that standard SPECT/CT scans miss. About 100 adults with high calcium and negative or unclear standard scans will receive the new scan. The goal is to see if the new method detects mor…

New imaging tool helps surgeons pinpoint hidden parathyroid tumors
Diagnosis Expanded accessThis expanded access program offers patients with primary hyperparathyroidism a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 18F-fluorocholine. The scan helps doctors locate parathyroid adenomas—small, benign tumors that cause high calcium levels. By finding these tumors mo…

Scientists dig into old tumor samples to outsmart parathyroid cancer
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study examines stored tumor tissue and blood samples from 310 people with parathyroid tumors. Researchers aim to find molecular and genetic markers that can better distinguish between benign and cancerous tumors. The goal is to reduce misdiagnosis, unnecessary surgery, and s…
