| Abstract | Background Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare malignancy, often diagnosed incidentally through postoperative pathological examination. The occurrence of nodular goiter, intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma, contralateral parathyroid adenoma (PA), and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is extremely uncommon, which prompted us to report our case experience. Case presentation We describe a 67-year-old male who presented with a cervical mass causing tracheal compression, which prompted him to seek medical advice. Based on preoperative auxiliary examination results from color Doppler ultrasound, SPECT parathyroid imaging, and blood tests, he was initially diagnosed with a suspected parathyroid adenoma and nodular goiter. Excision of the right lobe and isthmus of the thyroid, and left superior parathyroid gland was conducted, which were sent to intraoperative frozen pathological examination. During intraoperative observation, adhesion around the right thyroid lobe was discovered. Consequently, right central area lymph node dissection was performed due to suspicion of an aggressive malignant tumor. Histology and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed incidental intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma, contralateral parathyroid adenoma, classical papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, and nodular goiter. Conclusion Parathyroid carcinoma should be highly suspected when extremely high levels of PTH and severe hypercalcemia are present, which cannot be simply explained by a preoperatively localized parathyroid adenoma, especially when suspicious malignant adhesion is found during intraoperative exploration. In cases where multifocal thyroid nodules are associated with increased uptake of 99Tc-sestamibi, the possibility of coexisting carcinomas should be considered, not only for thyroid malignancy but also for the potential presence of intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
