Zusammenfassung:Carcinoma of the parathyroid gland is a very rare tumor of the head and neck. The largest number of carcinomas are discovered by chance.(intraoperatively, during surgery removal of the parathyroid gland are adenomas). Around 1% of the primary parathyreoidism is caused by the cancer of parathyroid glands. Only 10% of these rare tumors make up dysfunctional cancer of parathyroid glands. There have been 24 cases reported of this disease in the literature. The focus of our study is to present a case of this disease and to review the published literature to date.
