Functional parathyroid carcinoma: Long-term treatment outcome and risk factor analysis

A Rare Co-Occurrence of Parathyroid and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

“…PC patients are more likely to have metabolic bone (34 to 73%) and renal disease (32 to 70%) compared to those with benign adenomas [23]. Our patient did not have any renal or metabolic bone disease complications.…”

Parathyroid carcinoma and oxyphil parathyroid adenoma: an uncommon case of misinterpretation in clinical practice

“…The best treatment for parathyroid carcinoma is early total extirpation of the tumor and circumjacent tissues [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Surgeons should perform en bloc resection (ipsilateral thyroid lobe, adjacent musculature, paratracheal lymphatic tissue [Level VI] and, if involved, the thymus), as this has much influence on the prognosis and the rate of local recurrence [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Nevertheless, this is a tumor with a high rate of local recurrence and successful cure after relapse is rare.…”

“…Furthermore, he had a history of gastric ulcer. There was no family history of primary hyperparathyovoid, with a brown color and yellowish undertones [3][4][5][6][7][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…However, metastases to bone, pleura, pericardium and pancreas have been reported. In cases of recurrent disease, it is advisable to perform a neck and chest CT scan and sestamibi scintigraphy [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

Diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma using immunohistochemical staining against hTERT

“…However, in some rare situations, it accounts for approximately 1-5% of the cases in which parathyroid carcinomas are encountered (1)(2)(3). Parathyroid carcinoma often causes local recurrences or distant metastases, and a radical cure is very difficult once the disease recurs (3).…”
