Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy and is a cause of primary hyperparathyroidism in less than 1% of cases. The authors present a case in which a lesion, radiologically suggestive of a carotid body tumour, but with the peroperative appearance of a vagal schwannoma had the definitive pathological diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma. Surgeons should be aware of unexpected malignant lesions involving the parathyroid glands.
甲状旁腺癌是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤，不到 1%的原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症是由其引起。作者报告了一例病例，该病变在影像学上提示为颈动脉体肿瘤，但在术中表现为迷走神经鞘瘤，最终病理诊断为甲状旁腺癌。外科医生应该意识到甲状旁腺中存在意想不到的恶性病变。
