| Abstract |
|
Parathyroid carcinoma is very rare in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, only accounts for 1% to 2% of all
cases. It is characterized by higher incidence of renal dysfunction, metabolic bone disease and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Although the clinical manifestations of hyperparathyroidism are more severe in patients with parathyroid carcinoma
when compared to those with those with parathyroid adenoma, it is difficult to differentiate carcinoma from adenoma
without pathologic confirmation. To our knowledge, there have only been a few cases of hyperparathyroidism due to
parathyroid carcinomas reported to date. Here, we report a case of 63-year-old woman developing osteoporosis,
hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia due to a parathyroid tumor and was diagnosed with parathyroid carcinoma
postoperatively. |
