Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare epithelial malignancy of the parathyroid gland.
General
- Extremely rare.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Histologically normal parathyroid cells.
- Cytologic features not reliable for diagnosis.
- Fibrous capsule.
- Invasion of surrounding tissue - key feature.
- +/-Metastasis - diagnostic feature.
Note:
- Diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma is like that of malignant pheochromocytoma - cytology useless, tissue invasion and metastases are the key features.

IHC
- Ki-67 >6% of cells positive - supports diagnosis.[2]
- Parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasias ~ 3%.
