    Nonfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma, a rare endocrine tumor, presents without elevated calcium. This case report and literature review highlights its unusual presentation and rarity.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy.
    • Typically presents as primary hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemia and elevated parathormone.
    • Nonfunctioning variants with normal calcium are exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • This paper details a case of nonfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma.
    • Reviews the existing 12 reported cases in the medical literature.
    • Highlights the diagnostic challenge due to normocalcemia.

    Findings:

    • Confirms the extreme rarity of nonfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma.
    • Underscores the importance of considering this diagnosis even with normal calcium levels.
    • Contributes to the limited body of knowledge on this specific tumor type.

    Implications:

    • Suggests the need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding nonfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma.
    • May prompt further research into the molecular mechanisms underlying this rare presentation.
    • Aids in the differential diagnosis of parathyroid lesions presenting atypically.
