Parathyroid carcinoma is exceptionally rare in children. Parathyroid carcinoma in the pediatric population most typically presents with significant hypercalcemia and a palpable neck mass. The authors report the seventh case of parathyroid carcinoma diagnosed in a child younger than 16 years. To our knowledge, this case is the first documented case, in the pediatric population, of parathyroid carcinoma in an ectopically located parathyroid gland with tumor invading the thymus.
甲状旁腺癌在儿童中极为罕见。儿科人群中的甲状旁腺癌最典型的表现是严重的高钙血症和可触及的颈部肿块。作者报告了第7例16岁以下儿童被诊断为甲状旁腺癌的病例。据我们所知，该病例是儿科人群中首例有记录的异位甲状旁腺发生甲状旁腺癌且肿瘤侵犯胸腺的病例。
