The parathyroid gland was first described by Sir Richard Owen. Ivor Sandstrom
coined the term glandulae parathyroidiae. Vassale and Generali Francesco observed
that tetany occurs following parathyroidectomy. Harald Salvesen firmly
established the relationship of the parathyroid gland to calcium metabolism. A
patient with skeletal disease and a tumor near the parathyroid gland was
described by Max Askanazy in 1904. Schlagenhaufer suggested in 1915 that in an
attempt to cure bone disease, solitary parathyroid enlargement, if present,
should be excised. The term hyperparathyroidism (HPT) was coined by Henry Dixon
and colleagues. The parathyroid surgeries on Albert J. and Charles Martell were
the first experience with successful parathyroidectomy. From a grossly
symptomatic disease of bones, stones, abdominal groans, and psychic moans, HPT
has evolved into asymptomatic HPT. Improvements in knowledge about the pathology
of parathyroid diseases, including the genetic basis of HPT, and advances in the
surgical techniques have brought about changes in the management of HPT over the
decades.
