The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

3.2K
The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors and Calcium Channel Blockers

294
Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are two critical categories of drugs employed in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). PAH is a disease that causes high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, resulting in chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
TKIs, such as imatinib (Gleevec), are particularly effective in tackling the growth and mitogenic factors that become upregulated in PAH patients. These factors contribute to the...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply01:24

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply

2.9K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits.  Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Vascular Neoplasms

Background:

  • Hemangiomas are benign capillary neoplasms resulting from developmental anomalies.
  • While common in the head and neck, parathyroid hemangiomas are exceptionally rare.
  • Only five prior cases of parathyroid hemangiomas have been documented in medical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an additional case of parathyroid hemangioma.
  • To emphasize the clinical and radiographic mimicry of this rare entity.
  • To raise awareness among surgeons regarding this differential diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 68-year-old male patient.
  • Detailed gross pathological description of the parathyroid hemangioma.
  • Association with primary hyperparathyroidism was noted.

Main Results:

  • A hemangioma was found to almost entirely replace the right upper parathyroid gland.
  • The tumor measured 1.3 × 1.3 × 1.2 cm and weighed 700 mg.
  • The patient presented with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Conclusions:

  • Parathyroid gland enlargement caused by vascular neoplasms can resemble hyperplasia or adenomas.
  • Surgeons must consider parathyroid hemangiomas in the differential diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism.
  • Awareness of this rare entity is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
