A 46-year-old woman underwent surgery for parathyroid carcinoma 2 years ago. During follow-up, the patient presented with elevated parathyroid hormone (127.50 pg/mL; normal, 15-65). No abnormal uptake of 18 F-FDG or 11 C-choline was observed on 18 F-FDG and 11 C-choline PET/CT imaging. The patient was enrolled in a clinical trial for 18 F-FAPI PET/CT imaging, revealing a lesion with intense focal uptake within the left sternocleidomastoid muscle. The patient underwent surgery. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed parathyroid carcinoma metastasis.

Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome is a rare form of syndromic primary hyperparathyroidism. We describe a young female with a history of common precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who was diagnosed with overt primary hyperparathyroidism due to a pathogenic CDC73 variant (c.25C > T).

The use of transaxillary and transsubclavian approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy has increased globally. However, studies examining the comparative outcomes of these procedures are scarce. In this study, we aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of thyroidectomy between the gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transaxillary approach (GETTA) and gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transsubclavian approach (GETTSA) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare malignancy, comprising 1 % of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). This narrative review explores recent advances in PC management, with a focus on molecular insights, diagnostic advancements, surgical innovations, and emerging targeted therapies. Manuscripts published between 2023 and 2024 were obtained from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL).

Background: Surgery is the preferred treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is only feasible with accurate preoperative localisation. Virtual 3D anatomical models can be constructed from patient-specific CT scans using segmentation software.
