Abstract

Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare malignancy and rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. This is a report case of a 60 year old female referred from other hospital because of pathologic fracture at right pubic rami. Hypercalcemia and right neck mass were found. Parathyroid scan described as consistent with parathyroid adenoma. Hypercalcemia was treated using bisphosphonate and right thyroid lobectomy with right parathyroidectomy. Pre-tracheal lymph node removal was done. Histopathological diagnosis is parathyroid carcinoma with the presence of tumor on resected margin. Postoperative radiotherapy was given without immediate complication. The literatures are review.
