Abstract

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy presenting hyperparathyroidism. At times, diagnosis and localization are difficult. The optimum treatment for parathyroid carcinoma is en bloc resection when malignancy is highly suspicious or diagnosed. However, even after the adequate surgical treatment, persistent or recurrent disease is well encountered. Here we report a case with recurred parathyroid carcinoma presenting discrepancy between image findings and operative findings.

Keywords: Recurred parathyroid carcinoma, Ultrasound, En bloc resection
