Abstract
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy. We report the case of a 66 years old man referred to our department for a large substernal goiter suspected as a thyroid cancer associated with severe hyperparathyroidism. After normalization of serum levels of calcemia, total thyroidectomy and subtotal parathyroidectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed a parathyroid cancer of 450 g.
