Parathyroid carcinoma, a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, typically presents as a hyper-functioning tumor. Surgical removal is the primary treatment, with biopsy confirming malignancy despite initial benign imaging findings.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Parathyroid carcinoma is an exceptionally rare endocrine malignancy.
  • It is often associated with severe primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia.
  • Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with pathological femur fracture, hypercalcemia, renal stones, elevated parathormone, and a neck mass.
  • Initial diagnosis suggested parathyroid adenoma, localized to the left lower gland via sestamibi scan and ultrasound.
  • Surgical excision of the enlarged parathyroid gland was performed.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative assessment revealed no local invasion or lymph node metastasis.
  • Post-operative biopsy confirmed parathyroid carcinoma, despite initial imaging suggesting a benign adenoma.

  • This highlights the diagnostic challenges in differentiating parathyroid adenoma from carcinoma pre-operatively.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate pre-operative diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma is crucial for surgical planning.
    • Pathological examination is essential for definitive diagnosis, even with negative intraoperative findings.
    • Early detection and surgical management of parathyroid carcinoma can improve patient outcomes.
