    Non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma, a rare neck mass, lacks hypercalcemia. This aggressive cancer shows increased mitotic index and potential for metastasis, despite an indolent course.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma is exceptionally rare, with only 12 reported cases.
    • This malignancy presents as a slow-growing neck mass without typical hypercalcemia or elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH).

    Observation:

    • Clinical presentation includes a long-standing neck mass.
    • Laboratory findings are negative for hypercalcemia and elevated PTH.
    • Malignancy is confirmed by an increased mitotic index on pathological examination.

    Findings:

    • Non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma appears more aggressive than functioning types.
    • Radiotherapy may aid local disease control.
    • Metastasis is common, though chemotherapy response data is limited.

    Implications:

    • Further research is needed to understand the aggressive nature and optimal treatment of non-functioning parathyroid carcinoma.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
    • This rare cancer highlights the importance of thorough pathological evaluation for diagnosis.
