Parathyroid carcinoma, although a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, carries a significant morbidity and mortality from severe symptomatic hypercalcaemia and related complications. We report a case where the diagnosis was not considered from the outset and review the current clinical and histopathological markers available to assist in the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma.
甲状旁腺癌虽然是原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症的罕见病因,但由于严重症状性高钙血症和相关并发症,其发病率和死亡率较高。我们报告了一例最初未考虑该诊断的病例,并回顾了目前可用于协助诊断甲状旁腺癌的临床和组织病理学标志物。
