Parathyroid carcinoma in familial hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract: SUMMARY Two families with hereditary hyperparathyroidism are described. One member of each family developed a parathyroid carcinoma. In one case this recurred locally and metastasised. This patient showed hyperplasia of one of the three other parathyroid glands. It is possible that the different parathyroid lesions found in familial hyperparathyroidism may be the result of a progression from hyperplasia to formation of benign or malignant tumours. The remaining hyperplastic glands may be suppressed by hypercal… Show more

“…Since multiple parathyroid adenomas are rare in the general population, this family supported the genetic origin of the disease. Parathyroid carcinomas were reported in 6 of the 19 families (1,3,(7)(8)(9). Jaw tumor is the most common complication of FIHP (2-7, 9, 14) and other tumors in the thyroid, colon, kidney, or uterus have been reported.…”

“…This observation could explain the data of Kassem et al (13) suggesting that some cases of FIHP are linked to chromosome 11q13, possibly the MEN-1 locus. However, many FIHP families have shown unique clinical features: (i) frequently observed jaw tumors such as ossifying fibromas or cementifying fibromas (2-7), and (ii) a high prevalence of parathyroid adenomas (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) and carcinomas (1,3,(7)(8)(9).…”

“…Non-familial pHPT accounts for more than 95% of the cases, while the remaining cases occur in the setting of inherited disorders: multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 or type 2 (MEN1 or MEN2) and more rarely HPT-jaw tumour (HPT-JT) syndrome, caused by germline mutations in MEN1 tumour suppressor gene, RET proto-oncogene and HRPT2 (CDC73) tumour suppressor gene (3,4). Additionally, germline mutations in CDKN1B, the gene coding for the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 Kip1 , were identified in a few families bearing a MEN1-like syndrome, thus evidencing a p27…”

“…Apesar da raridade de ambos os distúrbios, a associação de carcinoma de paratireóide em famílias com HFI é descrita como não incomum (14,15). Ressalta-se que nenhum gene foi associado exclusivamente ao HFI até o momento.…”
