RAPP, Sofía I. et al. Primary hyperparathyroidism with parathyroid carcinoma. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.113, n.3, pp.367-370. ISSN 2250-639X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.25132/raac.v113.n3.1556.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. We report the case of a female patient hospitalized for acute kidney failure associated with hypercalcemia, parathyroid hormone levels 8 times above the normal value, and a nodular mass behind the thyroid gland on magnetic resonance imaging. The patient underwent en bloc resection of the parathyroid glands and the right thyroid lobe.
