Adenomas of the parathyroid gland, the majority of which are of the solitary chief cell type, are the most frequent cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroidsm adenomas composed predominantly or exclusively of oxyphil cells are rare and were previously considered nonfunctioning. Among 160 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyrodism who were explored surgically, 10 (6.25%) had adenomas of the oxyphil cell variety. The 8 women and 2 men in this series ranged in age from 0.2-4.0 g (average, 1.2 g). Of the adenomas, 9 were located in the left neck, while the remaining tumor was in the right neck. Histologically, the tumors were composed almost exclusively of transitional and typical oxyphil cells. A residual capsular parathyroid composed of chief cells was identified in each case. EM, phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin staining, and the immunoperoxidase technique for cytochrome c oxidase showed the presence of numerous mitochondria in oxyphil cells. All patients had normal serum Ca levels 4 mo.-4 yr (average, 23 mo.) after removal of the neoplasms.
