A parathyroid adenoma is a noncancerous growth on one of the parathyroid glands, the small glands that regulate calcium levels in the body. It can cause higher than normal calcium levels without obvious symptoms. An MRI may show a small mass near the thyroid consistent with a parathyroid adenoma. Finding a parathyroid adenoma early may allow for surgical removal before it causes bone loss or kidney complications from elevated calcium.
