Debulking surgery for functional pleural dissemination of parathyroid carcinoma-case report

Abstract Background A rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a parathyroid carcinoma. Hypercalcemia with an elevated hormone (PTH) level seen in recurrent and metastasis disease cases often refractory to medical therapy, thus surgical resection recommended when possible. We performed debulking surgery for pleural dissemination cancer improvement symptoms patient hypercalcemia. Case presentation 30-year-old male hypercalcemia was diagnosed cancer. Following surgery, intact PTH elevation progression due were noted. An active status functional left revealed 99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile somatostatin receptor scintigraphy results, but not the area pulmonary metastasis, performed. Thereafter, decreased temporarily activities daily living improved. Conclusion Aggressive metastatic patients carcinoma taken into consideration control
