| * A parathyroid adenoma is a [[adenoma|benign tumor]] of the [[parathyroid gland]]. It generally causes [[hyperparathyroidism]]; there are very few reports of parathyroid adenomas that were not associated with hyperparathyroidism.<ref name=sekine>{{cite journal |author=Sekine O, Hozumi Y, Takemoto N, Kiyozaki H, Yamada S, Konishi F |title=Parathyroid adenoma without hyperparathyroidism |journal=Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=155–8 |date=March 2004 |pmid=15078912 |doi=10.1093/jjco/hyh028}}</ref>

| * A human being usually has four parathyroid glands located on the back surface of the [[thyroid]] in the neck. The parathyroids secrete [[parathyroid hormone]] (PTH), which increases the concentration of [[calcium]] in the blood by inducing the [[bone]]s to release calcium into the blood and the [[kidney]]s to reabsorb it from the urine into the blood. When a parathyroid adenoma causes hyperparathyroidism, more parathyroid hormone is secreted, causing the calcium concentration of the blood to rise, resulting in [[Hypercalcaemia|hypercalcemia]].<ref name=fel>{{cite journal |author=Felsenfeld AJ, Rodríguez M, Aguilera-Tejero E |title=Dynamics of parathyroid hormone secretion in health and secondary hyperparathyroidism |journal=Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology |volume=2 |issue=6 |pages=1283–305 |date=November 2007 |pmid=17942777 |doi=10.2215/CJN.01520407}}</ref>

| [[Surgery]] is the only cure for parathyroid adenomas.<ref name=ds/> It is successful about 95% of the time. [[Parathyroidectomy]] is the removal of the affected gland(s). The standard of treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism was formerly a surgical technique called bilateral neck exploration, in which the neck was opened on both sides, the parathyroids were identified, and the affected tissue was removed.<ref name=bell>{{cite journal |author=Bellantone R, Raffaelli M, DE Crea C, Traini E, Lombardi CP |title=Minimally-invasive parathyroid surgery |journal=Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=207–15 |date=August 2011 |pmid=22065831 |pmc=3203720}}</ref> By the 1980s, unilateral exploration became more common.<ref name=bell/> Parathyroidectomy can now be performed in a [[Invasiveness of surgical procedures|minimally invasive]] fashion, mainly because imaging techniques can pinpoint the location of the tissue.<ref name=bell/> Minimally invasive techniques include smaller open procedures, radio-guided and video-assisted procedures, and totally [[Endoscopy|endoscopic]] surgery.<ref name=bell/>

| Before surgery is attempted, the affected glandular tissue must be located. Though the parathyroid glands are usually located on the back of the thyroid, their position is variable. Some people have one or more parathyroid glands elsewhere in the neck anatomy or in the chest. About 10% of parathyroid adenomas are [[Ectopia (medicine)|ectopic]], located not along the back of the thyroid but elsewhere in the body, sometimes in the [[mediastinum]] of the chest.<ref name=ds>{{cite journal |doi=10.4103/0973-0354.96061 |title=Ectopic parathyroid adenoma |journal=Thyroid Research and Practice |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=68–70 |year=2012 |last1=Dsouza |first1=Caren |last2=Gopalakrishnan |last3=Bhagavan |first3=KR |last4=Rakesh |first4=K}}</ref> This can make them difficult to locate, so various imaging techniques are used, such as the sestamibi scan, [[single-photon emission computed tomography]] (SPECT), [[Medical ultrasonography|ultrasound]], [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]],<ref name=ds/> and [[X-ray computed tomography|CT]] scans.<ref name=ds/><ref>{{cite journal |author=Zald PB, Hamilton BE, Larsen ML, Cohen JI |title=The role of computed tomography for localization of parathyroid adenomas |journal=The Laryngoscope |volume=118 |issue=8 |pages=1405–10 |date=August 2008 |pmid=18528308 |doi=10.1097/MLG.0b013e318177098c}}</ref>
