“…Various studies describe cytologic findings that distinguish parathyroid lesions from thyroid lesions, but the distinguishing points vary from paper to paper, and are sometimes even contradictory [4-6,12]. In short, there is no single cytologic finding that can definitively diagnose a parathyroid lesion as of yet.…”

Hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy of a minimally invasive parathyroid carcinoma

et al. 2011

The prognosis of parathyroid carcinoma varies significantly between numerous studies. Therefore, many attempts have been made to grade the degree of parathyroid carcinoma, and recently, classifying parathyroid carcinomas into either minimally invasive or widely invasive carcinoma- similar to follicular carcinoma of the thyroid- has led to a more reliable prediction of the prognosis. Hungry bone syndrome can occur if parathyroidectomy is performed due to primary hyperparathyroidism regardless of the cause of the disease. Hungry bone syndrome is characterized by postoperative a hypocalcemic state due to remineralization of various minerals, including calcium, of the bone; this syndrome requires a long-term supplementation of calcium. The authors aim to report, along with a review of related literatures, 1 case of a 29-year-old female patient diagnosed with minimally invasive parathyroid carcinoma who fell into hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy.

“…Occasionally, it may be necessary to perform FNA of more than one suspect mass, frequently from several sites. Parathyroid cyst FNA generally yields clear, colorless, water-like or golden-brown fluid [1,2,7,11,13,[25][26][27]. Aspirate sediment should be examined on a microscope, along with determination of aspirate PTH.…”

“…FNA cytomorphologic features include small and monotonous to moderately anisokaryotic cells that are present in cohesive cellular disorganized sheets, cords, cohesive three-dimensional groups, papillary fragments, and microfollicles (in 90% of parathyroid adenomas and absence in parathyroid hyperplasia), have round to oval hyperchromatic nuclei containing finely to coarsely granular chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli, and have fragile, pale blue or finely granular cytoplasm with ill-defined borders (Absher, Truong et al 2002;Liu, Gnepp et al 2004;Owens, Rekhtman et al 2008) (Figure 8). Isolated cells and naked nuclei are commonly present and sometimes predominate (Absher, Truong et al 2002;Liu, Gnepp et al 2004;Owens, Rekhtman et al 2008), and rare case shows lymphoid-like smears (Absher, Truong et al 2002). Prominent nucleoli, mitotic figures, and karyolysis are seen in parathyroid carcinoma (Hara, Oyama et al 1998).…”

“…Prominent nucleoli, mitotic figures, and karyolysis are seen in parathyroid carcinoma (Hara, Oyama et al 1998). Nuclear pleomorphism is seen in 33% of parathyroid adenoma and absent in parathyroid hyperplasia (Liu, Gnepp et al 2004). A granular smear background is usually present (Owens, Rekhtman et al 2008).…”
