Abstract
Parathyroid lipoadenomas are a rare and benign variant of parathyroid adenomas that are defined morphologically by an abundance of adipocytes. The clinical manifestations and the laboratory findings are indistinguishable from those of the usual forms of parathyroid adenomas. Unlike parathyroid adenomas, parathyroid lipoadenomas can be functional or nonfunctional. We present a case of a functioning parathyroid lipoadenoma, which presented diagnostic difficulty on frozen section examination. The diagnosis was aided by intra-operative parathyroid hormone measurement.
