Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare epithelial malignancy of the parathyroid gland.

General

  • Extremely rare.
  • May be seen in the context of familial primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).[1]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Histologically normal parathyroid cells.
    • Cytologic features not reliable for diagnosis.
  • Fibrous capsule.
  • Invasion of surrounding tissue - key feature.
  • +/-Metastasis - diagnostic feature.

IHC

  • Ki-67 >6% of cells positive - supports diagnosis.[3]
    • Parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasias ~ 3%.
  • PAX8 +ve.[4]
  • GATA3 +ve.[5]
  • Parafibromin -ve.[6]

Molecular

  • HRPT2 gene mutations (10 of 15 sporadic cases of parathyroid carcinoma).[7]

Note:

  • The HRPT2 gene encodes the parafibromin protein.[7]
