β¦ Synopsis
A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for an enlarging neck mass. Fine-needle aspirate contained Hurthle cells and thyroidectomy revealed two separate thyroid morphologically similar lesions. lmmunohistochernical studies confirmed diagnoses of separate Hurthle cell thyroid and oxyphil parathyroid adenomas. Diagnostic pitfalls and the role of imrnunohistochemistry in diagnosis are discussed.

A patient with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism who spontaneously became normocalcernia is reported. The only significant finding was that of pain and tenderness in the enlarged parathyroid gland 2 weeks prior to surgery. This was due to a recent infarction of a parathyroid adenoma.
