Parathyroid Homografts in Brain Tissue

Reimplantation of autogenous parathyroid tissue: An experimental study

“…Jordan et al (1958) achieved successful implantation of whole glands or sliced organs with histological evidence of viable grafts in 3 of 10 dogs (30%). Block et al (1966) in investigating "privileged sites" for parathyroid homografts observed that masses of parathyroid tissue were present in the brain of their two autograft controls on microscopic study following implantation of whole glands. of either a whole parathyroid gland or minced glands after implantation into the rectus sheath or the omentum.…”
