Abstract: Thirty-nine cases of hyperparathyroidism have been studied. Follow-up study showed that in five patients recurrent hyperparathyroidism developed. No reliable pathologic criteria were found to differentiate adenoma from chief cell hyperplasia in a single gland. Patients with primary chief cell hyperplasia may have glands that fulfill the classic criteria of adenoma. Adenoma and primary chief cell hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands may be manifestations of the same basic process.
