Abstract
A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for an enlarging neck mass. Fine-nee dle aspirate contained Hurthle cells and thyroidectomy revealed two se parate thyroid morphologically similar lesions. Immunohistochemical st udies confirmed diagnoses of separate Hurthle cell thyroid and oxyphil parathyroid adenomas. Diagnostic pitfalls and the role of immunohisto chemistry in diagnosis are discussed. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
