Abstract

A rare case of synchronous folicular carcinoma and primary hyperparathyroidism is reported for a 43- years old female without interesting antecedents. Our patient suffered light hypercalcemias but notorious osteomuscular, lithiasis and digestive clinical symptoms. The presurgical imaging tests suggested the presence of a parathyroid adenoma with Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (F.N.A.B.) of right coloid goiter, so that we performed an right hemithyroidectomy at first place. The pathology report was parathyroid adenoma synchronously with folicular carcinoma. A few weeks after the initial surgery we completed the intervention by a left hemithyroidectomy that not showed another tumoral focus. In the postsurgical period a transitory hypocalcemia was noticed and required treatment with endovenous and oral calcium aport. Finally, the check-ups in consulting were normal with a follow-up of 8 years.
