Water-clear cell adenoma of the parathyroid gland: a rare entity.
Water-clear cell hyperplasia is a rare but well-documented cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroid adenomas of water-clear cell type are exceptionally rare, and only five case reports are available at present in the medical literature. We report an additional case of water-clear cell adenoma of the parathyroid gland, and the differential diagnoses are discussed.
