Abstract

Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm. The symptoms that arise are related to hyperparathyroid conditions, which are clinically difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant disorders. These conditions make the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid carcinoma challenging. Case Presentation: : In this case report, a 27-year-old male presented with weak limbs and a history of multiple recurrent fractures. Serum calcium ions and parathyroid hormone levels were increased. A comprehensive history taking, laboratory testing, and radiographic examination were used to confirm the diagnosis of parathyroid cancer. However, a histological study is still necessary to make a certain diagnosis. The patient underwent parathyroidectomy accompanied by intraoperative frozen section examination, then confirmed to have parathyroid carcinoma. Calcium serum evaluations were performed on the patient after surgery. Conclusions: Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare case. Clinical manifestations and the results of investigations that are not typical and rarely found together in one patient’s condition make the diagnosis of this case very difficult. Although recommendations or standard protocols in the management of parathyroid carcinoma do not yet exist, the results of case reports are expected to increase the knowledge and management of parathyroid carcinoma patients.

Abstract

Introduction: End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) can cause secondary hyperparathyroidism, resulting in parathyroid hyperplasia. In parathyroid hyperplasia, monoclonal development can occur, resulting in nodular hyperplasia. This nodular hyperplasia was thought to develop into a carcinoma, but its development into a benign neoplasm is very rare. This case report presents a parathyroid adenoma that developed in a patient with endstage renal failure who required routine hemodialysis. Case Presentation: A 31yearold woman presented with complaints of facial bone swelling, shortened body, and a previous history of renal failure with hemodialysis therapy since 4 years ago. From the blood test, a hyperparathyroid condition was found, and a history of hypocalcemia. A sestamibi (MIBI) examination has also been done with the results of bilateral inferior parathyroid adenomas. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral inferior parathyroid adenoma with endstage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis and bilateral inferior parathyroidectomy was performed on the patient. The patient’s progress was followed from diagnosis, surgery, and followup after surgery. At 4 months postoperatively, the suspicion of a mass in the residual parathyroid was confirmed by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and MIBI examination. The patient was suspected to have parathyroid hyperplasia in the remaining gland, with risk factors for hyperparathyroidism due to ESRD. Conclusions: ESRDinduced secondary hyperparathyroidism may lead to enlargement of all parathyroid glands which may develop into nodules. Therefore, careful monitoring and diagnostics supported by hospital policy is required and removal of all parathyroid glands is considered in such patients, even if not all parathyroid glands have masses.
