Parathyroid cancer, also known as parathyroid carcinoma, is a rare type of cancer that originates in the parathyroid glands, which are small glands located in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to help regulate calcium levels in the body. Parathyroid cancer is considered a rare malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, which is a condition characterized by excess production of PTH.
Parathyroid cancer typically presents with symptoms related to hypercalcemia (high blood calcium levels), which can include weakness, fatigue, bone pain, kidney stones, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and frequent urination.

A definitive diagnosis is usually confirmed through a biopsy of the tumor.
