    This case study details a 53-year-old woman with parathyroid carcinoma and functioning metastases. Inorganic phosphate failed to control hypercalcemia, highlighting challenges in managing advanced parathyroid cancer.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy with a propensity for metastasis.
    • Hypercalcemia is a common and serious complication of parathyroid cancer.
    • Metastatic spread can involve lungs, mediastinum, and pleura, complicating management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of parathyroid carcinoma with widespread functioning metastases.
    • To discuss the challenges in managing hypercalcemia in advanced parathyroid cancer.
    • To review therapeutic options for managing metastases from parathyroid carcinoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a 53-year-old woman.
    • Clinical presentation and treatment of hypercalcemia.
    • Discussion of therapeutic strategies for metastatic disease.

    Main Results:

    • The patient presented with parathyroid carcinoma and functioning metastases.
    • Inorganic phosphate administration was ineffective in controlling hypercalcemia.
    • The case highlights the difficulty in managing hypercalcemia and metastases.

    Conclusions:

    • Parathyroid carcinoma with functioning metastases presents significant therapeutic challenges.
    • Standard hypercalcemia treatments may be insufficient.
    • Management requires a multidisciplinary approach considering various therapeutic modalities.
