Overview
A single parathyroid adenoma is responsible for 80% to 85% of hyperparathyroidism[1]. A double adenomas the culprit in 4% to 5%, and parathyroid hyperplasia in 10% to 12%[2]. Parathyroid carcinomas are very rare causes of hyperparathyroidism and account for less than 1% of disease. Adenomas are most common in patients 50 to 70 years old.They can occur at any age. Women are affected 3-times as often as men
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- A parathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid gland. It generally causes hyperparathyroidism.
- Approximately 100,000 Americans develop primary hyperparathyroidism each year from parathyroid adenoma.
Incidence
- A single parathyroid adenoma is responsible for 80% to 85% of hyperparathyroidism.
- Parathyroid carcinomas are very rare causes of hyperparathyroidism and account for less than 1% of disease.
Age
- They can occur at any age.
Gender
- Women are affected 3-times as often as men
