Abstract
A UNIQUE functioning tumor of the parathyroid gland was found in a forty-one-year-old man with clinical hyperparathyroidism. It was composed of a blend of fibrofatty lobules and trabeculae and sheets of parathyroid chief cells. The only similar reported case is that of Ober and Kaiser,1 who described a nonfunctioning, large, encapsulated mass composed of an admixture of fibrofatty and parathyroid tissues that they designated as hamartoma of the parathyroid gland. It differed from our case only in the absence of endocrine dysfunction and the presence of all types of parathyroid cells in the tumor.Case ReportN.R.S., a 41-year-old man, . . .Keywords
