Core Tip |
Parathyroid carcinoma is the rarest endocrine malignancy; it is extremely uncommon in pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarum can mask the symptoms of hypercalcemia. The calcium level can be lower during pregnancy due to its specific physiology. This is a case report of a 24-year-old female patient with parathyroid carcinoma and two consecutive pregnancies with good outcomes in the postnatal period despite poor prognosis due to malignant disease. In five years, four consecutive surgeries were performed to remove malignant parathyroid tissue, lymph nodes and local metastases. Hypercalcemia was difficult to control with a combination of pamidronate, cinacalcet and loop diuretic. There were no elements of multiple endocrine neoplasia. |
