title: Parathyroid adenoma and nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma.
abstract: The incidence of thyroid carcinoma in patients with hyperparathyroidism has been reported as higher than expected. We record our experience with 272 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. Malignant thyroid lesions were found in 11.4%. We conclude that this is more than a fortuitous association.
