Functioning parathyroid cysts are rare, with fewer than twenty reported cases. This study presents a unique case of a functioning parathyroid cyst linked to hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, a presentation not previously documented.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Parathyroid cysts are rare endocrine neoplasms.
  • They are classified as functional (associated with hypercalcemia) or nonfunctional.
  • Functioning parathyroid cysts are exceptionally rare, with limited documented instances.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of a functioning parathyroid cyst.
  • The cyst was associated with the clinical manifestation of hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.
  • This specific combination has not been previously identified in medical literature.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a functioning parathyroid cyst presenting with hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.
  • This presentation is distinct from previously reported cases of functioning parathyroid cysts.

  • Diagnostic and management considerations for such rare entities are emphasized.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of parathyroid cyst presentations.
    • It underscores the importance of considering rare endocrine disorders in the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology and clinical behavior of functioning parathyroid cysts is warranted.
