Parathyroid adenomas can be due to a genetic problem. The most common cause of parathyroid adenoma is hyperparathyroidism, which leads to increased blood calcium levels.
Parathyroid adenomas represent a common endocrine problem, whereas parathyroid carcinomas are very rare tumors. With an estimated incidence of 0.015 per 100,000 population and an estimated prevalence of .

A single parathyroid adenoma. This is the most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. There is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of one of your parathyroid glands. This causes more parathyroid hormone to be released by the gland.
Familial forms due to parathyroid adenoma occur in patients with other endocrine tumors (see Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) Syndromes). Primary hyperparathyroidism causes hypophosphatemia and excessive bone resorption.
A type of multiple endocrine neoplasia characterized by a virtually 100% incidence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, a 50% incidence of pheochromocytoma, and a lesser incidence of parathyroid adenomas associated with hyperparathyroidism.
Parathyroid cancer may be hard to diagnose because the cells of a benign parathyroid adenoma and a malignant parathyroid cancer look alike.
Specifics on obtaining high quality sestamibi scans to localize parathyroid adenomas. Written for doctors by the team who developed radioguided parathyroidectomy.
When there is a benign tumor in a parathyroid gland, the condition is called a parathyroid adenoma. When more than one parathyroid gland becomes enlarged, the condition is called parathyroid hyperplasia.

Also, you may have an increased risk if you have a family history of a type of thyroid cancer called medullary cancer or a history of a hormone problem that causes high blood levels of calcium (parathyroid adenoma).
Familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) is an inherited form of medullary thyroid cancer that occurs without pheochromocytoma or parathyroid adenoma/hyperplasia.
It can be the result of all four parathyroid glands producing too much PTH (parathyroid hyperplasia), or one gland specifically producing an excessive amount of hormone (usually the result of a parathyroid adenoma, or benign tumor).
Parathyroid: weakness, fatigue, constipation, kidney stones, loss of appetite, and bone pain are signs of a condition known as hyperparathyroidism, which occurs in patients with parathyroid adenomas or parathyroid cancer.
