The nuclei of parathyroid parenchymal cells, analyzed using image cytometry (ICM), in relapsing and non-relapsing secondary hyperparathyroidism due to uremia, showed a DNA-distribution pattern of diploid type. Nevertheless, some differences were observed within the groups, as regards the concept of 'scattered cells' in ICM DNA histograms. The relative incidence of 'scattered cells' was particularly high in the histograms from parathyroid glands with nodular hyperplasia and in those from parathyroid parenchyma grafted into the skeletal musculature. In these two kinds of parathyroid specimens, the 'scattered cells' were both of chief-cell and oxyphil-cell types. In contrast, 'scattered cells' were not so conspicuous when parenchymal cells of glands with diffuse hyperplasia were analyzed. As there is some clinical and histopathological evidence that the cells in both nodular-hyperplastic and autografted parathyroid parenchyma have increased growth potential, it is hypothesized that the relative incidence of the 'scattered cells' in the ICM DNA histograms indicates an increased proliferative activity.
