Abstract

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare disease in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. We experienced a case of parathyroid carcinoma presenting with hyperparathyroidism. A 62-year-old male patient had hypercalcemia, chronic kidney disease, and an elevated parathyroid hormone level for at least 3 months. An ultrasonogram and parathyroid scan did not show parathyroid neoplasm. He underwent left hemithyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy. Biopsy revealed a parathyroid carcinoma. His azotemia and hypercalcemia improved after surgery.

저자들은 고칼슘혈증을 보인 만성 콩팥병(CKD stage 3) 환자에서 부갑상선암을 진단하고 수술 후 신기능이 호전된 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
