title: [Parathyroid microadenomas].
abstract: Ten out of 329 cases of hyperparathyroidism operated over a 4 year period had lesions which conformed to the diagnostic criteria of microadenoma. Although small and light weight these lesions all gave rise to complete laboratory work ups and 7 out of the 10 patients had clinical signs. The microadenomas were not easily identified at surgery and the diagnosis could only be confirmed after a thorough histological examination. After resection, all patients seemed to be permanently cured.
