Preoperative Clinical Prediction of Parathyroid Carcinoma: Two Rare Case Presentations and a Review of Literature.

BACKGROUND Parathyroid carcinoma represents about 0.005% of all malignancies and accounts for less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Precise preoperative diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma is challenging, and it is usually diagnosed postoperatively by histological examination.

Coexistence of Oncocytic (Hürthle cell) carcinoma with foci of anaplastic carcinoma and a metastasizing papillary carcinoma in one thyroid gland: Rare case report.

Introduction And Importance: Anaplastic thyroid cancer is considered one of the most fatal aggressive malignancies with a survival duration estimated in months. When compared to anaplastic thyroid cancer, a well-differentiated thyroid tumor has a better prognosis and a longer survival duration even if it metastasized. Left untreated, the transformation of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma to aggressive anaplastic malignancy has been considered one of the most devastating complications.
