[Parathyroid carcinoma--a case report and a review of the Japanese literature].
The patient, a 42-year-old female, presented with bone pain and a cervical tumor. The tumor was operated at another hospital under a diagnosis of thyroid adenoma and the bone pain subsequently disappeared. Three years later, a cervical tumor was palpated just under the operative scar; the patient experienced nausea, vomiting. The tumor and the left thyroid lobe were removed and modified radical neck dissection was performed. The histological diagnosis of the resected specimen was parathyroid carcinoma.
