Almost all functioning parathyroid adenomas are composed of chief or water-clear cells. In contrast, most oxyphil cell adenomas of this organ remain clinically silent. To date only occasional parathyroid adenomas consisting of oxyphil cells only have been found associated with primary hyperparathyroidism. The two additional examples described in this report confirm observations by others indicating that the parathyroid oxyphil cell can play an active metabolic role.
几乎所有有功能的甲状旁腺腺瘤都由主细胞或水样透明细胞组成。相比之下，该器官的大多数嗜酸细胞腺瘤在临床上仍无症状。迄今为止，仅发现少数仅由嗜酸细胞组成的甲状旁腺腺瘤与原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进有关。本报告中描述的另外两个病例证实了其他人的观察结果，表明甲状旁腺嗜酸细胞可以发挥积极的代谢作用。
