Benign neoplasm: parathyroid gland - what does this mean
Benign neoplasm of the parathyroid gland is a condition in which an abnormal growth of cells occurs in one or more of the parathyroid glands, resulting in an overproduction of the hormone parathyroid hormone (pth). this can lead to an imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in the body, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, bone pain, and depression.
What happens during the disease - benign neoplasm: parathyroid gland
Benign neoplasm of the parathyroid gland is caused by an abnormal overgrowth of the cells that make up the parathyroid gland. this overgrowth leads to an increased production of parathyroid hormone, which can cause a variety of symptoms including fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, and bone pain. in some cases, the overgrowth of cells can cause the parathyroid gland to become enlarged, leading to an increased risk of complications such as calcium imbalances and kidney stones.
