Background:
- Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy.
- Hypercalcemia and renal stones are common clinical manifestations.
Observation:
- A 49-year-old female presented with a palpable neck mass, hypercalcemia (serum calcium 12.7 mg/dl), and renal stones.
- Imaging revealed a thyroid lobe mass, later confirmed as parathyroid carcinoma via histopathology.
Findings:
- The patient underwent successful tumor resection.
- Post-operative follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence at two years.
Implications:
- This report contributes to the limited literature on parathyroid carcinoma, particularly within the Japanese population.
- Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for favorable outcomes in parathyroid carcinoma.
