Multiple parathyroid tumors, as opposed to hyperplasia, have been reported in a subset of patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). It is not clear whether these multiple tumors are representative of a neoplastic process or whether they merely represent hyperplasia that has affected the parathyroid glands differentially and resulted in asynchronous growth. The molecular genetic techniques of...
