[Toxic thyroid adenoma and malignant hypercalcemia of parathyroid origin].
Malignant hypercalcemia due to the association of hyperthyroidism and hyperparathyroidism is rare. We report a case with a fatal course in spite of surgical treatment of both lesions. Death occurred seven days after the operation due to ventricular tachycardia, in spite of return to normal of the calcemia, the serum phosphorus, the serum electrolytes and relief of the thyro-toxicosis. There is a great deal of histopathological evidence for the association of a toxic parathyroid carcinoma and a thyroid adenoma.
