Parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands located in the neck, typically situated behind the thyroid gland. Most individuals have four parathyroid glands, although the number can vary. They are responsible for the secretion of a hormone ( the parathyroid hormone, PTH) which is required for the regulation of calcium in the body.
I have covered benign parathyroid conditions as well as parathyroid cancer, clinical sign and symptoms, lot of illustrations and pictures are used to explain it . The subject is vast . I have made every possible effort to simply the contents and to make it user friendly.
