    Image of hyperplasia, focal in the parathyroid gland from a male F344/N rat in a chronic study
    Parathyroid Gland - Hyperplasia, Focal in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. This low-magnification photomicrograph contains a focus of hyperplasia (arrow) with a growth pattern distinct from the adjacent parathyroid parenchyma.

    Parathyroid Gland - Hyperplasia, Focal in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. Focal hyperplasia is characterized by cells with rounded nuclei and abundant hypertrophic cytoplasm but without compression of adjacent parathyroid parenchyma.

    Parathyroid Gland - Hyperplasia, Focal in a male Wistar Han rat from a chronic study. Two focal areas of hyperplasia with pale, enlarged cells (compared with surrounding parathyroid parenchyma) are present.

    Parathyroid Gland - Hyperplasia, Focal in a male F344/N rat from a chronic study. Two to three adjacent nests of hyperplastic foci are present; the pale staining of their hypertrophic cells makes them stand out from the normal parathyroid tissue.
