Parathyroid adenoma with prominent lymphocytic infiltrate is a rare disease. Until now, 11 patients have been reported. Herein, we report a 57-year-old man who had a neck mass that was incidentally found. Aspiration cytology and subsequent needle biopsy of the tumor were performed and suggested papillary thyroid carcinoma. From the resected specimen, however, the patient was finally diagnosed with parathyroid adenoma with prominent lymphocytic infiltrate, characterized by hyperplastic parathyroid cells with nuclear atypia within fibrotic stroma along with numerous lymphocytes forming germinal centers. Some eosinophils and plasma cells were also observed with some histological features highly suggestive of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), including increased IgG4-positive plasma cells and IgG4/IgG-positive plasma cell ratio, storiform-type fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis. It turned out that microfollicular or trabecular architecture and cellular atypia with high expression of HBME-1 observed in the aspiration cytology and needle biopsy had been misinterpreted as a thyroid malignancy. This is the first report describing microscopic features of aspiration cytology and needle biopsy of parathyroid adenoma with prominent lymphocytic infiltrate, warning that it can mimic papillary thyroid carcinoma in biopsy specimens. Furthermore, the IgG4-RD-like features of the present case and previous reports imply that parathyroid adenoma with prominent lymphocytic infiltrate may be a type of IgG4-RD.
