title: Nuclear diameter in parathyroid carcinomas.
abstract: Nuclear diameter was measured and mean nuclear diameter calculated in 18 parathyroid carcinomas. In 11 of the 18 tumours mean nuclear diameter was above the range previously reported for 55 parathyroid chief cell adenomas and provides a useful discriminant in histological diagnosis.
