Parathyroid adenoma is a benign parathyroid tumor, with serum parathyroid hormone and calcium ion concentrations as the typical basis for diagnosis. Its clinical manifestations are complex and changeable; thus it is easily missed or misdiagnosed. Approximately 85% of patients with parathyroid adenoma develop primary hyperparathyroidism, and abnormalities in bones, kidneys and other organs can occur. Brown tumors are rare.
