Parathyroid Gland Involvement by Thyroid Cancer: Results from a Large Series of Thyroidectomies Performed in Two Italian University Hospitals and Review of the Literature

<div>(a) Papillary thyroid carcinoma invading the parathyroid gland by a pattern A infiltration (Haematoxylin &amp; Eosin stain, ×20). (b) Papillary thyroid carcinoma (<i>on the right</i>) invading a parathyroid gland by a pattern B infiltration.
