    Author: Chaudhuri T, Chaterjee S, Mukherjee SK, Sengupta A, Mukhopadhyay AS.
    Journal: J Indian Med Assoc; 2009 Apr; 107(4):244-5. PubMed ID: 19810371.
    Abstract:
    Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare endocrine malignancy, which usually presents with features of hypercalcaemia and a neck mass. Here a case of parathyroid carcinoma, whose only presenting feature was multiple pathological fractures, without any palpable neck mass is reported. En masse resection of the parathyroid mass along with ipsilateral hemithyroidectomy was performed, while the fractures were treated conservatively. At three years follow-up the patient does not have any recurrence or any evidence of metastasis.
