cancer is a rarely encountered disease which may accompany with
hyper-parathyroidism. It is hard to diagnose the disease before surgical
treatment and to differentiate it completely from adenoma. The treatment of parathyroid
cancer includes removal of the tumor and the thyroid lobe completely on the
same side through neck exploration and removing the lymph nodes at the
neighborhoods. For a successful operation, it is required to diagnose the
disease preoperatively and to determine whether the disease spreads locally or
extensively and to plan the surgical removal of the tumor on the basis of such
findings. In this paper,   </span> <span style="font-size:14px;">a 71-year-old
patient with an incidental parathyroid carcinoma diagnosed in the early postoperative
period foolowing anemergent orthopedic operation was presented. The final
diagnosis was determined after the histopathologic examination of the
parathyroid gland. </span> </span> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Mustafa HASBAHÇECİ}
