Abstract

Parathyroid carcinoma is rare, occurring in less than 2-3% of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In the patients with chronic renal failure, the incidence is extremely low. Only 13 cases of parathyroid carcinoma with chronic renal failure have been described in the world literature. We report a case of parathyroid carcinoma in a 43-year-old man who has been suffered from chronic renal failure for 19 years. To our knowledge, this is the first case of parathyroid carcinoma occurring in the thyroid gland associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
