Preferred Label : Malignant neoplasm of parathyroid gland;
ICD-11 definition : Parathyroid tumours occur predominantly in middle aged and older adults, and the vast
majority are benign. They may also occur in the setting of inherited tumour syndromes,
including MEN1 and the hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumour syndrome. The elucidation of
the genetic basis of these syndromes has provided fascinating insights into thyroid
and parathyroid growth and differentiation during the multi step processes of neoplastic
development and progression.;
