Autoinfarction of Giant Parathyroid Adenoma after Preoperative Withdrawal of Anticoagulants

Figure 4

The specimen showed a largely infarcted enlarged cellular parathyroid gland with cystic change (a, b; hematoxylin and eosin). There was no evidence of invasive growth. There was no loss of expression for parafibromin (c), RB (d), p27 (not shown), and bcl-2 (e). The overall clinicopathological findings were consistent with an infarcted parathyroid adenoma.
