The parathyroid glands are small tissues that lie on either side of the thyroid gland. Unlike the thyroid's role in energy metabolism, the parathyroids are only involved in calcium regulation within the body. An adenoma (cancerous tissue) on this gland may cause an over-production of parathyroid hormones and alter calcium levels, which generally requires surgical removal of the glands.
