Abstract
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of hyperparathyroidism. Histolog ical differentiation from parathyroid adenoma may be difficult and is rarely achieved intraoperatively. Parathyroid carcinomas are sometimes localized heterotopically. We report a case of parathyroid cancer in the left thyroid lobe. Surgical therapy should include en bloc resecti on of the tumor, the thyroid lobe and the paratyhroid tissue.
