Parathyroid biopsy

Alternate Names : Biopsy - parathyroid

Normal Values

There is no swelling, hormone levels appear normal, and cells from the tissue sample are normal.

Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

What do Abnormal Results Mean?

The test confirms that a parathyroid gland is enlarged, if hormone levels are too high, or if cells from the sample are abnormal.

Abnormal results may be due to:

Parathyroid adenoma or carcinoma (rare)
Parathyroid hyperplasia
Multiple endocrine neoplasia I (MEN I)
Multiple endocrine neoplasia II (MEN II)
