Parathyroid carcinoma is a very rare oncological entity, presenting insidiously in the second and fourth decades of life, characterized by hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism of difficult control, accompanied by general malaise, complications secondary to hypercalcemia and cervical tumor, being the main differential diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma. Complementing imaging studies of neck, scintigraphy, and contrast neck computed tomography. The diagnostic suspicion of parathyroid carcinoma is usually confirmed by the pathology of the surgical specimen. The surgery of choice is parathyroidectomy plus ipsilateral thyroidectomy. Monitoring of hypercalcemia and hyperparathyroidism is performed.
