Moreover the difference between primary disease of the parathyroid glands and enlargement secondary to renal or other diseases was not clear to earlier writers. For these reasons it is usually difficult to classify the cases reported in the early literature although the reports of Strada (1) and Kerl (2) probably refer to primary hyperplasia of the parathyroids.The first satisfactory description of primary parathyroid hyperplasia was given by Albright, Bloomberg, Castleman,...References1.
