Overview

A parathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid gland. Parathyroid adenoma can be associated with overexpression of the cyclin D1 gene. An elevated concentration of serum calcium and serum parathyroid hormone is diagnostic of parathyroid gland. A specific test for parathyroid adenoma is sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy, the sestamibi scan. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for parathyroid cancer.
