RESUMO
The diagnosis of pathological conditions of the parathyroid glands is the answer to clinically more frequently detected hypercalcemic conditions, including MEN syndromes. In routine biopsy practice, enlarged bodies are also a differential diagnosis for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. In the chapter of parathyroid tumors, the 5th edition of the WHO classification brings changes influenced similarly to other endocrine organs by the increase in genetic information. At the terminological level, the concept of hyperplasia has been narrowed down to secondary hyperplasia, most of the previously primary hyperplasias are referred to as multiglandular parathyroid disease due to evidence of multiglandular clonal proliferations. The term atypical parathyroid tumor replacing atypical adenoma is newly introduced - the uncertain biological behaviour is emphasized. The basic examination includes parafibromin immunohis- tochemistry, the deficiency of parafibromin being an indicator of an inactivating CDC73 mutation and an increased risk of familial forms, or MEN. Methodologically, refinements are introduced in the quantification of mitotic activity per 10 mm2. Oncocytic subtypes have an arbitrarily declared threshold of more than 75% oncocytes. The definition of lipoadenoma (multiplication of both components, more than 50% of adipose tissue in the tumor) is similarly specified. The diagnosis of cancer remains histopathological with unequivocal evidence of invasion, or microscopically verified metastasis.

La incidencia de hiperparatiroidismo causado por carcinoma de paratiroides (CP) ha sido estimada en soló 0.5 a 5 por ciento (1-11). Por esto se ha recomendado informar todos los casos que se detecten con el fin de elaborar un registro internacional que mejore el conocimiento sobre esta rara entidad. En este artículo se presentan dos pacientes con hiperpartiroidismo por CP evaluados por nuestro servicio, y con base en ellos se hace una corta revisión del tema.
