The parenchyma of the parathyroid gland consists of two types of cells, chief cells (CC), also known as
principal cells, and oxyphil cells (OC). Chief cells are more numerous and possess darker staining
cytoplasm. They form small cords surrounded by slender connective tissue (CT) elements and blood
vessels (BV). The nuclei (N) of connective tissue cell has an elongated appearance. Oxyphil cells
stain lighter and are usually larger in size and their cell membranes are evident.
