Synchronous Parathyroid Carcinoma and Multifocal Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report
The coexistence of parathyroid carcinoma and thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. Presently described is a case with multinodular goiter and parathyroid adenoma pre-diagnosis for which operation was planned that was postoperatively diagnosed with multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma accompanying parathyroid carcinoma. A review of the current literature is also provided.
