Palatal swelling revealing a secondary hyperparathyroidism: A case report.

• Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common complication of chronic renal disease. • Brown tumors are rare benign bone tumors caused by exposure to excessive parathyroid hormone secretion during hyperparathyroidism. • Head and neck brown tumors are rare.

Synchronous parathyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma.

The simultaneous occurrence of parathyroid carcinoma and nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma is unusual. We report the case of 60-year-old woman who was found to have concurrent parathyroid carcinoma with severe clinical manifestations of primary hyperparthyroidism in addition to an incidental papillary thyroid carcinoma. Parathyroid hormone level was 569 pg/ml (normal range 10-65), and the serum calcium concentration was 13.

Accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland masses according to the Milan reporting system and to an in-house system.

Background: This study aims to assess in our institutional experience the accuracy of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of salivary gland masses (SGM) according to the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) and to an in-house system.

Methods: The study included 189 FNACs conducted between January 2011 and December 2019. The FNACs, classified according to the in-house system, were reclassified according the MSRSGC.
