Two Cases of Parathyroid Cancer with Pulmonary Metastasis
#1267
Introduction: Parathyroid cancer(PC) is a rare disease accounting for less then 1% of all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The prognosis of patients with parathyroid carcinoma is variable; more than 50% have a persistent or recurrent disease due to a regional or distant disease.
Aim(s): We describe 2 cases of PC with metastases in the lungs.
Materials and methods: Two women there are 27 and 75 years old with primary hyperparathyroidism (pathological osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, markedly high parathyroid hormone levels).
