Cerebral metastases of parathyroid carcinoma: a case report and literature review
TRANSLATIONAL CANCER RESEARCH(2020)
Abstract
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is an uncommon endocrine tumor. At first presentation, the diagnosis of PC by morphologic analysis is challenging. Indeed, approximatively 50% of metastatic PCs were categorized as benign at the time of first resections. However, single brain metastasis rarely occurs in PC patients and could represent a further obstacle for PC diagnosis in the absence of other symptoms. The present report describes the clinicopathological features of a case of PC intracranial metastases in a 60-year-old woman, who presented space-brain occupying symptoms as a first manifestation. To the best of our knowledge, only ten cases with brain metastasis were reported in the literature.
